Coherence refers to the logical "flow" and overall clarity of a piece of writing or speech, ensuring that ideas connect in a way that makes sense to the reader. While cohesion is the "glue" that connects sentences (using pronouns or transition words), coherence is the "blueprint" that ensures the big-picture ideas are organized logically. 🏗️ Core Principles of Coherence Coherence
- The "Therefore" Test: Look at your scene transitions. Scene A should lead to Scene B with a "Therefore..." or "But..." connection. If the connection is "And then..." (e.g., He went to the store. And then he saw a bird. And then he bought a coffee), the narrative is episodic and lacks coherence.
- Setup and Payoff: Ensure every gun introduced in Act 1 is fired by Act 3. Unresolved plot threads break coherence.
- Character Logic: Ensure characters act according to their established psychology. If a coward suddenly acts bravely without a catalyst moment, it breaks the internal coherence of the character arc.
