How Do You Create Suspense?
Audio lecture | 60 Minutes
Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Description
Should you, as a writer, do what you should do or do what you want to do? New York Times bestsellng author Lee Child answers that question in this intriguging lecture.
What does it take to deliver a living breathing book? The three necessary ingredients are integrity, vitality, and an organic feeling,
elements Lee believes can only be achieved if the manuscript is 100 percent a work of your own brain, rather than done by a committee. When you have these ingredients your work will find an audience, be that crowd small or large. But the first step is to make the manuscript a living, breathing work. The only way to avhieve that integrity and vitality is to do exactly what you want to do, though you might think at the time that your creation is misguided, banal, and stupid. Lee also discusses the central story question and "cascading" story questions, and provides some guidance on how and when to use them.
