Description

Have you ever read a book you can't put down? You know, one of those books that makes you stay up so late in the night that by the time you put it down the sun has already started to rise? I think all of us have read at least one book that was so gripping it made up bite our fingernails and shift to the edge of our seat. What we are experiencing is tension. Every good story uses tension to push the reader closer and closer to the resolution of that book. But what is tension? I know it is a feeling inside me, but what creates it? Why does it create it?This episode talks about the basics of tension.
