18.10: Anticipation is More Than Just Ma...

Mary Robinette Kowal, DongWon Song, Erin Roberts, Dan Wells, and Howard Tayler
About this episode
Last week we talked about tension, and promised that we'd be breaking it down into more pieces. This week we're discussing one of those pieces: Anticipation. We sub-divided it as follows:

* Surprise
* Suspense
* Humor
* Promises

We talk about how to create anticipatory tension well, where the pitfalls are, and how this fits into the creation of our stories.
