Mark 10:33 "Saying,
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the
chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and
shall deliver him to the Gentiles:"
Suspense is when we wait
for something we know will happen to occur. It could be something pleasant,
like waiting for the surprise birthday party to begin with the arrival of the
birthday boy.
We can build suspense in
our writing using anticipation of various events to build interest in our
readers. We can use that kind of suspense, even in our manuscripts that aren’t mysteries
or thrillers.
But usually suspense
refers to certain genres. In those cases we build suspense by showing things
like a gas leak to build suspense in our readers that someone is going to do
something to spark a fire, maybe even an explosion to go along with the gas
leak.
