Gosh dang it takes so much effort to build tension in a horror story (Working on horror tale...) · 6:06am Jul 6th, 2016
I'm 5500 words into my story and the tension just keeps building and building. Part of me says "The danger is slowly encircling the protagonist" and I have to keep going. Part of me wonders "Wow, when it comes to action, horror is like a beast that stalks it's prey quietly, patiently, and relentlessly. And finally, when the time is right, it moves. And it doesn't just move. It slithers."
