anyway my stance on "reading the classics" basically boils down to the fact that what is or is not defined as "a classic" is somewhat arbitrary, and therefore it makes no sense to treat "the classics" as some sort of uniform genre that you either like or dislike. Whether you liked Great Expectations has no bearing on whether you'll like 1984 or Rebecca or Pride and Prejudice or East of Eden or Frankenstein or Crime and Punishment. Because those are all vastly different books. "I don't want to read Classics; they're all boring and probably sexist or something." <<free yourself from the arbitrary category of "classic." It just means a lot of people liked the book. You might not. but you might. Treat it as an individual title.

Deep Water Prompt #3276
Our planets and their histories are wildly similar. But where earth had dinosaurs, they had what we would call dragons. And they still do.

For example, you might work from the beginning of the scene and from a point somewhere in the middle of the scene, switching back and forth between those points until they connect
like if the scene was "Character A is going to sneak into character B's house, and then character B is going to come home and find them, and then they are going to have an argument" you might start at the part where character B comes home, then skip back and write character A's initial sneaking in, and go back and forth a little bit, and then skip to the meat of the argument, and then connect the beginning
