A writing group I frequent had a conversation tonight about compelling suspense. We discussed empathy and obstacles as the means to enhancing the looming disaster (or not) for the reader.
Nancy Fulda had an excellent post on the Craft of Writing blog over at the SFWA site. (make sure and get those letter in the correct order). She provides a most direct assessment of this topic and the mechanisms to achieve competent success.
I didn't know Nancy's work beforehand. You can bet I will now.
The link to the entry is : here.
Nancy's site is here.
