∙ 10y agoYou create suspense by making the reader interested in finding out what's going to happen next. Your actual technique may differ depending on what sort of story you're writiing, but in general, start in the middle of some action and make the reader want to keep reading.
You can use any of the following, or any other technique that works for you:
- foreshadow the next action by giving hints
- use a suspenseful atmosphere or setting
- use a count-down or other time reference
- keep the action non-stop
