Write a scene in which a character is waiting for important news. Focus on anticipation rather than action.

I have a tiny prose piece published at The Amazine Community today. ☺️ Born a few years ago at a poetry workshop hosted by a worker at Lampedusa Refugee Reception Centre in Sicily. I have always been fond of it, and very proud it has been published.

Tension isn’t just about danger or conflict. It’s about making the reader wonder what happens next.

Breadcrumbs create satisfaction because they make the ending feel earned.

Foreshadowing works best when it feels natural, not obvious.
