1. advance the plot; 2. deepen a character; 3. exemplify the genre (comedy- get a laugh; horror- have a scare, etc.); 4. build the world. So a scene between people, existing as people, int he world they live in, INSIDE your story, is legit even if there's not a plot point. BUT--— Seth Sherwood (@SethMSherwood) February 4, 2023
