Your story's middle exists to do more than just fill the space between beginning and climax of what you've written. Its job is to tie the story together, making sure that the ending is coherient by showing the chain of events that got the character there. To this end, today's article is about the two main types of scenes, why your protagonist must occasionally fail, and how to ensure you get your story's pacing correct.
If you're interested in improving your writing, I'm also trying to start a informal writing workshop of sorts. Interested? Then check out the Discord.

Its so funny you ask any of us writers how to with this and you will get insanely different answers. I get asked about this a lot, and I think this is an answer many would appreciate as it gives them something more to work with in their finding out of their processes and approach.
You have no idea how many times I almost put down that people should "Try different things and experiment" while writing this. It is good advice, but when you're looking for an explanation it feels very much like a cop-out.
Most of what I wrote here (and what I write in general) is my own interpretation of advice I've found over the years colored by my personal perspective, so I would hesitate to even call this my advice. At best, it is my personal interpretation of advice I have received over the years from a number of sources.
