QUESTION: Writing scenes(Part two): Define a cliffhanger in your own words and tell what it means to your writing? Question provided by affiliate author L. P Robinson
Great question, L.P. To me, a cliffhanger is a scene that creates a conflict requiring resolution, one that puts the protagonist in the hot seat and makes readers want to keep turning pages to learn what happens next. The conflict can be emotional or physical or psychological, depending on the genre.
Good writers provide enough of a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter to keep readers interested. Really good writers ratchet up the tension throughout the story.
