Last week we talked about tension, and promised that we'd be breaking it down into more pieces. This week we're discussing one of those pieces: Anticipation. We sub-divided it as follows:

Surprise
Suspense
Humor
Promises

We talk about how to create anticipatory tension well, where the pitfalls are, and how this fits into the creation of our stories.
