Writing a thriller can be an exciting and challenging endeavor. Here are some tips to help you craft a gripping and suspenseful thriller:

1. Start with a strong concept: Develop a unique and intriguing premise that hooks readers from the beginning. Think about what makes your story different and compelling.

2. Create compelling characters: Develop well-rounded, complex characters that readers can connect with. Your protagonist should be relatable and have strengths, weaknesses, and personal stakes in the story. The antagonist should be a formidable force, with their own motivations and flaws.

3. Build suspense: Thrillers thrive on suspense, so work on creating tension throughout your story. Use pacing, cliffhangers, and unexpected twists to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Foreshadowing can also be a powerful tool to create anticipation and suspense.

4. Use multiple layers of conflict: Introduce various conflicts that your protagonist must navigate. These conflicts can be external (e.g., a murder, a conspiracy) and internal (e.g., personal dilemmas, moral conflicts) to add depth and complexity to the story.

5. Keep the pacing tight: Thrillers are known for their fast pace. Avoid unnecessary exposition or lengthy descriptions that can slow down the narrative. Focus on concise, action-driven scenes that propel the story forward.

6. Use strategic reveals: Strategically reveal information to your readers, keeping them engaged and guessing. Give them enough clues to keep them intrigued but hold back key details to maintain suspense. Well-timed plot twists can also surprise and captivate your audience.

7. Research extensively: Thrillers often involve intricate plots, technology, crime, or the workings of specific industries. Conduct thorough research to ensure accuracy and authenticity in your writing. This will enhance the believability of your story and add depth to the narrative.

8. Develop a strong climax and resolution: Build towards a powerful climax that delivers on the promises and suspense you've built throughout the story. Tie up loose ends and provide a satisfying resolution to the main conflicts. However, consider leaving room for some ambiguity or unanswered questions to leave readers thinking.

9. Read widely in the genre: Familiarize yourself with successful authors and their works in the thriller genre. Analyze their storytelling techniques, character development, and pacing. This will help you understand what works and inspire your own writing.

10. Edit and revise: Once you've completed your first draft, revise and edit your work to refine the pacing, tighten the plot, and enhance character development. Seek feedback from beta readers or join writing groups to gain different perspectives on your story.

Remember, writing a thriller requires careful plotting, strong pacing, and an understanding of reader expectations. With these tips and ample practice, you can create a captivating and suspenseful thriller that keeps readers turning the pages.

Dutch Oven Your Hero

Dutch Oven Your Hero

So, last month Carrie was on an airplane, where she was trapped on a Philadelphia runway for awhile. Okay, hours. And someone kept expelling gas out the rectum.

In Shaun language that means fart.

Anyways, they were all trapped there, smelling this smell, and it was bad. Not bad enough for them to cancel the flight, which has allegedly happened in the past, but it was bad.

We’re not…
