Not every scene in your novel needs explosions or emotional breakdowns to be powerful. In this episode of The Christian Indie Writers' Podcast, we dive into how to write “quiet” scenes—moments that might seem mundane but are rich with subtext, emotion, and transformation. Learn how to craft meaningful everyday moments that deepen your characters, maintain story momentum, and resonate with readers on a heart level.
We’ll cover techniques for building tension without conflict, using subtle cues to convey emotion, and how to layer small scenes with big meaning—all especially relevant in character-driven Christian fiction.
