Davo, I need to create a new project for the series of crime novels I write. I want to store a scene that I will use at some stage later. Can you do this? If so, I will feed through the scene to you<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely, mate \u2014 I can help you set this up perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can create a \u201cCrime Novels Project\u201d<\/strong> file here, and inside that, a \u201cScene Bank\u201d<\/strong> where we\u2019ll store this scene (and any others you want to add later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can treat it like a virtual filing cabinet \u2014 no scene ever gets lost, and you can retrieve it anytime you want to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send me through the scene whenever you\u2019re ready, and I\u2019ll save it under the new project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like me to also tag it with a few details like tone<\/strong>, characters<\/strong>, setting<\/strong>, possible book fit<\/strong>, etc., so it\u2019s easier for you to sort later? (Optional, but very handy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready when you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Thanks. I\u2019ve pulled over to the side of the road at the moment in order to have the scene in my mind captured before I forget it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scene: a storage facility. Two men in their early twenties are putting furniture into a truck. In order to help a friend who is going to empty my storage unit at some later stage, I use my phone to video the path to my unit for my friend\u2019s benefit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the young men confronts me and is angry that I videod him without permission. I apologise, offer to delete him from the video, then begin to explain to him why I was videoing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He barks back that he didn\u2019t want to heave my life story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walk past him and say, \u201cYou must be a hit at parties.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He shouts at me, \u201cHey, fuckwit. Do you want me to beat the shit out of you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEasy, tiger. You don\u2019t want to try that,\u201d I reply, looking calmly at him, \u201cfor two reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are they, cunt?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, one, there is a security camera watching you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd two?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m ex SAS. Do you know what the SAS is?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNa, what\u2019s an SAS?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHoly fuck! What do they teach at school these days? You call yourself an Australian and you don\u2019t even know what the SAS is?  \u201c Turning to the other man, I ask, \u201cHave you heard of the SAS?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Got it, mate \u2014 and well done pulling over safely to capture it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the first saved entry<\/strong> for your Crime Novels Project<\/em> \u2014 under a \u201cScene Bank\u201d file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Scene Title: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Storage facility confrontation<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Setting:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dusty suburban storage facility, late afternoon. Sparse foot traffic. Security cameras mounted overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characters:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Narrator (protagonist)<\/strong> \u2014 Calm, experienced, hints of a military past.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Young man 1 (aggressor)<\/strong> \u2014 Early twenties, hot-headed, ignorant, easily provoked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Young man 2 (bystander)<\/strong> \u2014 Early twenties, quieter, possibly embarrassed by his mate\u2019s behaviour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Scene summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At a storage facility, the narrator records a short video to assist a friend in locating a storage unit. Two young men are loading furniture nearby. One confronts the narrator aggressively over being filmed without permission. The narrator defuses the situation calmly but firmly, using humour and authority. When provoked, he reveals (truthfully or not \u2014 open to later decision) that he is ex-SAS, invoking the presence of security cameras as a deterrent. The aggressor displays his ignorance by not knowing what the SAS is, deepening the narrator\u2019s disdain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tone:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tense, edgy, with flashes of dry humour and dominance without overt violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Possible uses:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Introduce the protagonist\u2019s psychological profile (calm under threat, strategic thinker, dry wit).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Establish tension early in a novel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Foreshadow future action (e.g., military past becomes relevant later).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Character-building moment showing protagonist\u2019s disdain for ignorance and bluster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Would you like me to also store a version just with the raw dialogue<\/strong> as well, so you can easily drop it into a future chapter if you need it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      (Up to you \u2014 but it can be very handy to have both scene breakdown<\/em> and raw script<\/em> versions.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And whenever you want to retrieve or add scenes, just say, \u201cDavo, update the Crime Novels Project.\u201d Easy as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Want me to go ahead and format the raw dialogue version next too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n

      More to follow on that scene: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cI think so. Isn\u2019t it a part of the Army?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cFuck me. Let me give you a bit of context. You know how it only takes a few goes and you can ride a bike for ever, even when you\u2019re ninety? Well, for six years I was paid by the Government to kill people. Once you\u2019ve killed a few times you never forget. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cBullshit. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThese days, and for a long time, I have been a paid assassin. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cDouble bullshit. How can an old fuck like you be an assassin? You couldn\u2019t even cut up an orange.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThat is precisely why I get hired, because no one would suspect a boring old fart like me. So, if you want you and your mate to die, be my guest and try and beat the shit out of me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cFuck off, you are lying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cYou willing to bet you and your mate\u2019s life in that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      They hesitantly look at each other. Then Mr Angry says, with a little bit of fear in his voice, \u201cBut there\u2019s a security camera filming us, you said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cGenius, one call from me to someone else and that bit of video will disappear forever, like it never even existed. So, want to risk your mate\u2019s life that you\u2019re right and that I\u2019m bluffing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cCome on, Jonno, let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      They get into the truck\u2019s cab, Mr Angry looking back at me, the fear very much in his eyes. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      Brilliant continuation \u2014 the tension ratchets up beautifully, and you\u2019re keeping the voice calm, sharp, and a little chilling without turning the narrator into a caricature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This will work superbly either as a stand-alone encounter or<\/em> as a simmering introduction to a protagonist with real menace under his calm exterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here\u2019s the full update for your Crime Novels Project \u2014 Scene Bank<\/strong>, merging everything you\u2019ve written so far:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Crime Novels Project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Scene Bank<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Scene title: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      Storage facility confrontation<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

      Setting:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • A dusty suburban storage facility, late afternoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Sparse foot traffic. Security cameras are clearly visible overhead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • A loaded moving truck is idling nearby.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Characters:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Narrator (protagonist)<\/strong> \u2014 Calm, physically unassuming, but exudes dangerous confidence. Hints at a military and covert operations background.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Young man 1 (aggressor \u2014 \u2018Mr Angry\u2019, possibly Jonno)<\/strong> \u2014 Early twenties, impulsive, aggressive, easily threatened, ignorant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Young man 2 (bystander)<\/strong> \u2014 Early twenties, quiet, less aggressive, looks to Mr Angry for cues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Scene summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The narrator is recording a video for a friend to find a storage unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Two young men, loading furniture into a truck, confront him aggressively about filming without permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The narrator stays calm, offering to delete the footage and beginning to explain \u2014 but Mr Angry escalates, barking at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The narrator cuts him down with dry wit, leading to an outright threat of violence from Mr Angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Unfazed, the narrator warns him of two reasons not to act:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • The security cameras are recording everything.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • The narrator claims to be ex-SAS and hints at an extensive, lethal background. When doubted, he escalates his claim, stating he\u2019s now a paid assassin \u2014 the perfect, unsuspected \u2018boring old fart\u2019. The narrator plants fear into Mr Angry\u2019s mind, suggesting he could have the security footage erased with a single call. Faced with the possibility of fatal consequences, Mr Angry and his mate back down and flee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Tone:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Tense, suspenseful, simmering with controlled menace and black humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Themes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • The underestimated man.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Appearances deceiving reality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Psychological dominance over physical violence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Possible uses:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Early scene to introduce the protagonist\u2019s true nature while avoiding exposition dumps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • A tension-builder that hints at darker skills and past history without revealing too much too soon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • A moment that could foreshadow later conflicts with organised crime, military connections, or a moral dilemma about violence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                Raw dialogue version (for easy dropping into a draft)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                \n

                Young man:<\/strong> (aggressively) \u201cHey! You can\u2019t video me without permission!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n

                Narrator:<\/strong> (calmly) \u201cSorry, mate. I can delete it if you want. I was just filming the path for my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n

                Young man:<\/strong> \u201cI don\u2019t wanna hear your life story!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n

                \n

                Narrator:<\/strong> (stopping, calm) \u201cEasy, tiger. You don\u2019t want to try that\u2014for two reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n

                Young man:<\/strong> \u201cWhat are they, cunt?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n

                Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cOne, there\u2019s a security camera watching you. And two\u2026 I\u2019m ex-SAS. Know what the SAS is?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n

                Young man:<\/strong> \u201cNa, what\u2019s an SAS?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n

                Narrator:<\/strong> (disgusted) \u201cHoly fuck. What do they teach at school these days? You call yourself Australian? (to the second man) Have you heard of the SAS?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n

                Second man:<\/strong> (hesitant) \u201cI think so\u2026 isn\u2019t it part of the Army?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n

                Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cFuck me. Let me give you a bit of context. You know how after a few goes you can ride a bike forever, even when you\u2019re ninety? Well, for six years I was paid by the Government to kill people. Once you\u2019ve killed a few times, you never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n

                \n\n\n\n

                Stored and ready to retrieve anytime, boss.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Would you also like me to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Suggest a few chapter titles<\/em> this scene could inspire?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Brainstorm ways to escalate<\/em> this moment into a full-blown subplot later (e.g., revenge attempt, connection to a larger enemy)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Totally up to you \u2014 I\u2019m here if you want to keep fleshing it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n

                  Excellent, thanks. And Jonno is Mr Angry (which is the sarcastic term that the unnamed assassin and ex-SAS man calls him). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                  Perfect \u2014 thanks for the clarification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  I\u2019ve updated the Crime Novels Project \u2014 Scene Bank<\/strong> file accordingly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n

                  Mr Angry\u2019s real name is Jonno<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                  \n

                  (The narrator uses \u2018Mr Angry\u2019 sarcastically in his own internal monologue.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                  This tiny detail actually strengthens<\/em> the scene even more \u2014 it gives your narrator that sardonic edge, treating potential violence with almost amused contempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  It subtly shows he\u2019s cataloguing these young thugs the way a soldier might assess opponents \u2014 detached, unemotional, clinical even under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n\n\n\n

                  Here\u2019s the updated notation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Character update:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Jonno (\u2018Mr Angry\u2019)<\/strong> \u2014 Early twenties, aggressive, impulsive, easily intimidated once real danger is hinted at. The narrator mentally nicknames him \u2018Mr Angry\u2019 with dry contempt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \n\n\n\n

                    Whenever you\u2019re ready, you can either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    • Feed me more scenes to add to the Scene Bank<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Ask me to help map out how this scene could branch into a full subplot, antagonist arc, or character evolution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      No rush \u2014 it\u2019s safely stored and ready when you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Would you like a few quick suggestions on possible directions this Jonno encounter could take later, just for inspiration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n

                      I will be asking you to outline three novels later on, but for now I need to get back on the road. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                      Understood \u2014 safe travels, mate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Everything we\u2019ve worked on is stored and ready for you whenever you\u2019re back and ready to dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      When you\u2019re ready later on, just say something like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
