Hey, I can't stop thinking about this idea since you posted it. I've initiated a lot of mundane scenes and they fall flat because the game isn't incongruous or specific enough. I've also witnessed a lot of fine scenes fall flat because, maybe the world is funny but the game isn't unusual enough for the world. Any exercises or things I could practice to get me leaping higher or stretching further? Thanks.
Don't FIGHT about mundane things. You can pleasantly YES AND mundane things to great success. I would guess your scenes have plenty of unusual things but need more SAYING YES to things and maybe more EMOTIONAL COMMITMENT. That's usually the case. Like, say yes and care more -- in general that's what's missing when a scene falls flat. Thank you for thinking about this stuff!
I really enjoyed this piece. Your tips are excellent. Although, I'm not sure I'd agree that ordering a vegan meat is a mundane scenario. A lot of people who don't agree with veganism would not order a vegan meat. To me, it's a highly distressing scenario with enough tension. 😊
