Suspense is created when the reader knows what is going to happen, but the characters don't! It's like in a Horror movie, when you are yelling "Don't go in there" to the characters on the screen.
You can also create tension by using short, choppy sentences. Keep things moving. Get the reader wondering. Have them guess about the plot.
Sometimes you can create suspense by having the characters know something that the reader doesn't, but that's harder to write. Mystery stories are good examples of this sort of suspense.
To add suspense to a story, you can create tension through dramatic events, cliffhangers, unexpected plot twists, and ambiguous outcomes. Keep readers guessing by revealing information gradually and building up the stakes. Utilize pacing, tone, and suspenseful language to create a sense of unease or anticipation.
To make a story interesting, you need to involve the reader emotionally. Make your characters people that the reader can relate to, and make your action believable. Avoid long stretches of description or monologues. Have the people in the story speak and behave in believable ways
Often ending a story in a cliffhanger provides the perfect ending to your tale.
Danger is a situation that can be used to create suspense in a short story. If you have someone in the story in danger, it will add suspense to the story.
Developing the narrator's character is essential in creating suspense because it allows readers to connect with the protagonist, increasing the emotional investment in the story. By revealing the narrator's motivations, fears, and flaws, the suspense is heightened as readers are more invested in the outcome of the story. Additionally, the evolution of the narrator's character can add layers of complexity and unpredictability to the plot, further enhancing the suspense.
