A device for cutting between two or more locations within one continuous scene - classically, a phone call.
INTERCUT tells the reader we're bouncing between simultaneous locations without re-slugging every switch: establish both ends of the phone call, mark INTERCUT, and write the conversation straight through. It keeps rhythm on the dialogue instead of on repeated scene headings.
Plan with 30+ story frameworks, write your screenplay or novel, and let Quill coach every beat - it guides and never writes. Free account, no card.
