CREATING SUSPENSE

• Suddenly
• All of a sudden
• Without warning
• Just at that moment
• Unexpectedly
• Out of the blue
• Out of nowhere
• Right away
• Straight away

When writing a story, the aim is not to inform; the real purpose is to entertain the reader. For this reason, a story, should aim to do so: entertain. And a cool way to entertain is to create suspense, which we can do by using some of the following expressions:

Then After that Not long aftewards As soon as While Meanwhile As Some time later A little later ____ minutes later a moment later Later (that morning/afternoon/day/night…) Just then

Time phrases

In order to define the order of the events in the story, we must use time expressions or time phrases.

DIRECT SPEECH

In every story there are characters and they usually interact with each other, so it is always good if you know how to use direct speech, that is, reproduce the words the characters actually say or think. The tricky bit about this is the punctuation and the verbs to choose, because it’s good to use some verbs other than «say». Let’s take a look at some examples: «I’m coming with you,» she said. She said, «I’m coming with you.» «Do you like it?» he asked. «Don’t do it!» he screamed. Pay close attention at where the comma (,) or other punctuation marks go (?, !). Also, don’t forget to use inverted commas («…») to enclose the direct speech.
