Tension Quote


"Glimmer Train" listed quotes in their 'Thoughts' page. The one below by Andrew Porter is one of my favorites since it describes my character, Hada, in Hada's Fog.
 
"I'm always thinking, What doesn't the character know? Often, the tension that drives a story comes from the fact that the character is being kept in the dark about something, or is perhaps in denial. That's a very powerful engine.—Andrew Porter"

Hada is in denial and it is her own perspective that is keeping her in the dark.
