Creating Tension in Your Story

from How to Write Good · host Daniel Poppie

Tension is something within writing that I do not think exists on its face. I think writing requires an audience. A person needs to understand and connect to the story, and when the right person reads a piece of text, that person is able to understand the tension in the story. The writing does need to exist for the tension in the writing to exist (of course), but it is a requirement for tension to exist. Today, I am going to be talking about tension. What is tension? Why do we need tension? How does tension work in the story? How do we create tension in our story?My Book: https://amzn.to/31UcCPgMy Newsletter:https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/a1r2k2My other episode about tension:https://www.spreaker.com/episode/32320909My episode on goals and motivation:https://www.spreaker.com/episode/32433487My Website:www.danielpoppie.com HTWG Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/howtowritegoodHTWG Twitter: https://twitter.com/danielpoppieHTWG Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielpoppieOne Last Toast for Ebenezer Fleet:https://www.spreaker.com/show/one-last-toast-for-ebenezer-fleet
