writing craft question:

"every scene must have a cause-and-effect trajectory"

maybe it& #39;s the fanfic writer in me, but I wonder if this is true because I *also* enjoy fluff scenes where we pause & get to know the characters, not always with consequences for actions.

wdy think?

& sorry, should& #39;ve been clearer: the craft book I& #39;m reading is saying each scene must have an external plot cause-and-effect trajectory. I totally agree that internal, emotional plot keeps moving in fluff scenes, too, but this craft book is saying that& #39;s not enough.

but I& #39;m now feeling very validated that it *is* enough.
