Ah, that's the problem of my using a quote from the middle of a book. You might enjoy reading the book itself ("The Trouble with Tribbles"), which tells how David Gerrold developed the script, from Day One. He started with a two-page premise, which he sold, and then he went through multiple drafts, each more developed than the last.
"I can usually tell before I've written it what a scene needs to achieve, what it needs to do in terms of pacing, structure, and character, even a sort of general kinesthetic "feel" for what kind of thing needs to go there. It's getting the thing itself -- what actually happens -- that's my sticking point."
Can you give me an example, one where the missing element was eventually found? I'm still trying to envision what the missing element is.
