I've noticed that the chapters and sentences in the latter part of my novels tend to be shorter than the earlier part, where the scene is being set and the characters introduced.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-89516119692887030822009-07-21T15:24:37.925+01:002009-07-21T15:24:37.925+01:00A Martin Edwards thriller?

I've heard it said to use short, choppy sentences when you're increasing intensity--and do a lot of telling, instead of showing. But I've not done more than just a couple of high-intensity scenes. Can't imagine writing a whole book that's intense.<br /><br />Sounds like an intriguing novel.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><a href="http://mysterywritingismurder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Mystery Writing is Murder</a>Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-49996712078365334962009-07-21T11:54:45.127+01:002009-07-21T11:54:45.127+01:00I haven't read a good thriller in awhile.
