: Re: How to move from writing scenes to a short plot? I've been working professionally as a part-time freelancer journalist for the past couple of years. Over that time I feel I've got a good grasp

Since you already have a process that works for you in journalism, why not adapt it for fiction? Just divide your writing into two phases:

First, write all the scenes and vignettes that you can think of. Then go back, and craft a story out of them, as if you were building a non-fiction story from your raw notes.

The main disadvantage is that you'll produce a lot of work that doesn't end up in the final version, but that's actually the case for everyone.
