I wrote a scene that I put my heart and soul into. It was received well by most of my readers, but I'm struggling with crafting a new scene for a book I'm currently writing. Here's some comments from my beta readers on the first scene in which I was able to captivate my audience:

> "OMG I love how you set the mood!" "Love it! The details and it was so graphic, made me feel like I was there. I had to stop reading for a minute because I felt like I was there," "Beautifully written"

I want to be able to do this again in my new book, but I'm finding it so difficult. How can I get back to that place?
