🎬 Scene Machine: Scribble Island Coaching in Creative Writing
For Writers Ready to Plot with Precision and Flow
🙌 Welcome
Scenes are where stories come alive. They deliver tension, pacing, emotional shifts, and transformation—moment by moment, line by line. But without a clear roadmap, it’s easy to overwrite, undercook, or get completely lost in the weeds.
Whether you're developing a screenplay, novel, audio drama, or web series, using scene-by-scenes and beat sheets helps you make intentional choices before you even begin writing. The content in these coaching sessions is designed to help you visualise the shape of your story, build momentum, and avoid the chaos of endless rewrites. You’ll learn to outline in a way that’s liberating, not limiting—bringing flow, clarity, and a stronger sense of creative control.
🌿 Programme: Scribble Island
Scribble Island is a one-to-one coaching programme designed to support your creative development through focused, flexible sessions. Each session acts as a destination on your journey—meeting you where you are, then guiding you further with clarity, structure, and momentum.

✍🏾 Pathway: Creative Writing
Scribble Island offers a range of thematic coaching pathways, and this session sits within the Creative Writing Pathway—crafted for storytellers, screenwriters, poets, and content creators who want to deepen their craft, align with their creative values, and grow more confident in their voice.
Scene Machine is ideal for writers who want to structure their story with intention before getting lost in the dialogue, stage directions, or internal monologues. You’ll map your story scene by scene, using beat sheets and structural outlines to strengthen momentum, raise stakes, and keep your narrative on track. Perfect for planners looking to gain clarity without losing creative spark.
🎯 Focus: Scene-by-Scenes & Beat Sheets
This focus is all about making your story more manageable, dynamic, and deliberate—without writing endless drafts to get there. You’ll explore the power of scene-by-scene breakdowns and beat sheets to sketch, shape, and sculpt your project before it’s even fully written.
We'll look at how these tools function like text-only storyboards: brilliant for solo creatives, but also ideal for collaborative teams, script editors, or writers’ rooms. You’ll learn how to spot redundancies, refine turning points, and delegate or adapt scenes with confidence. Whether you're outlining from scratch or reverse-engineering a finished project, this session helps you think structurally, creatively, and strategically.
