I almost always have a scene early in the book where bunch of people sit around a table and talk about what the plot actually is. Caught myself at it again tonight and moved it to a church instead so it would do triple duty as worldbuilding and add conflict. Every scene does 3 things or out it goes

As someone currently writing a pilot that involves investigative journalism work, it is dispiriting to see how boring a show about an actual conspiracy would be.
