Friction Between People

Hi everyone,

Still doing agent research. But I also added micro-tension to page 324.

I added the conflict that plagues my main character: be seen V’s hide/fade. Just a small reminder as there was other micro-tension on the page. 14 words.

 

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: page 324

On this page Katniss is assessing her enemy. The micro-tension comes from thoughts: threat or not a threat. Or possibly: what is the degree of the threat and the resulting (and very much linked), degree of worry.

 

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn: page 324

The micro-tension comes from Nick’s disapproval. Friction between people.

Okay, that’s it from me.

See you tomorrow,

Happy writing,

Joanne.

He’s also given webinars on it which can be bought from the Free Expressions website I linked on my courses recommendations page. Here’s the link directly to the webinar recordings. https://www.free-expressions.com/webinar-recordings
