I have a serious question for my own work. I'm in the middle of a story right now where I need my main character to, selfishly and impulsively, cheat on his boyfriend. I'm struggling with making this scene not feel trite and cliche. I've sent the entirety of act 1 and 2 making the reader fall in love with these two. now I need to ruin it. it's physically hurting me to write this scene lol

I swear, if the average netflix series had one moment like the stuff you post about they'd flip their reputation

I keep getting baited by these and I'm not a writer. I guess the fact that I stick around to listen is proof of your craft lmao. But you missed the sixth scenario: Another person was looking at their phone for 50% of the episode then says, "this show sucks."

I've noticed that a lot of writers have a strong impulse to make sure that every character is on the same page. while this does make communication a lot easier there is so much storytelling to be had in the gaps between one character and the next
