Overview
Scene Metric Shape shows how selected scene metrics rise and fall across the story. It can reveal pacing patterns, tonal runs and places where the draft may need contrast.
When Should I Use This?
Use it when reviewing emotional intensity, tension, mystery, romance, violence, darkness, hope, comedy or other genre-specific metrics.
How To Use It
Compare the graph to your intention. A flat line may be right for a quiet sequence, or it may show that a chapter needs a turn.
Example
If mystery stays low for several chapters in a mystery novel, the chart asks whether clues, questions or uncertainty need more presence.
Writer Tip
Metrics describe emphasis. They do not score quality.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming every chapter needs the same shape.
- Making every metric high.
- Forgetting that missing values may mean scenes have not been reviewed.
