When writing narrative nonfiction or fiction, what moments should the writer include as full-blown scenes, complete with action, atmosphere, dialogue -- moments that shift the story's characters or plot? What material, while necessary, should be delivered as exposition, or background information? How does one blend and marry scene and exposition on the page?
