The Art of Developing Story Tension

The Art of Developing Story Tension

You know that feeling when you walk in on two people who were just fighting?

You didn’t hear any of it... and they stopped as soon as you entered the room... but a very palpable feeling lingers in the air.

That’s TENSION.

We feel it in ourselves, and we feel when others are experiencing it.

We are powerful readers of each other’s emotional state, that’s one of our built-in survival tactics.

We can feel those same feelings for fictional characters as well.

The same goes for situations and settings... they carry the weight of tension just as strongly as the characters, and help fill the fictional world with energy.

Without this, writing feels bland and lifeless.

As important as it is to develop proper amounts of tension, so many writers do it improperly.

Most either overdo it, or don’t let it build enough.

It’s a fine line, but once you know the line it’s as easy as writing your name.
