Muse Food – Other Escape Routes
Your characters are trapped.
The doors are blocked. The windows are sealed tight. Danger is all around them.
If they don’t escape soon, they’ll die.
Look down. Is there drainage they can fit into?
Look up. Is there a ventilation shaft they can navigate?
Spaces are often designed for air and water to pass through them. These systems could be escape routes for your characters.
Or you could always give your characters a bomb of some kind and blow sh*t up.
That’s fun also.

Muse Food – The Aerial View
Sometimes, when a scene isn’t working for me, I like to imagine I’m seeing it from a plane or spaceship hovering or flying above it.
I look at the aerial view.
Are all the participants in the right spot? Have I forgotten about a participant? Who is in the most danger. Am I telling it from the right character’s perspective?
Looking at the scene this way gives me a fresh view of it. It takes me out of my current stuck mindset.
And often this helps!
