Setting the scene is an ongoing thing when it comes to conversations between characters. If there is a lot of dialogue between your characters, make sure to give the reader background on what they're doing and feeling.

This method has worked for me while writing A Queen’s Game! It helps by:
 • Restructuring your own thoughts around the scene
 • Giving your characters a new environment to interact with
 • Offering a new way for you as a writer to see the scene

There’s a time to tell and a time to show! The trick is knowing when and how to balance it.

When to show:
 • When character emotions or thoughts are the focus
 • You’re introducing a new place characters haven’t been before
 • When you want to emphasize important details (like something that might come into play later on in your story)

When to tell
 • To show passage of time
 • Action scenes, so fast-paced scenes. Showing can slow them down
 • To shorten your writing/get to the point when the scene is already long
 • Details that are insignificant or don’t add to your story my drawing them out
