I have a story I have been working on for almost a year now. I know what I want the characters to endue, their growth, hardships and the how I want it to end. I have problems with the build up. You know the stuff that makes people grasp the story and want to keep reading until the good stuff gets there. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi @GoddessSims ! I think @CathyTea made a great suggestion (and thank you for the mention, you are sweet!) about leaving some things a mystery for readers. It will keep the readers guessing and make them want to know more! I think this works pretty well!
Another (kind of obvious haha) suggestion is to make sure you have well-developed characters that are easy to connect with. I know that as a reader, the more I understand and care about a character, the more I'm invested in their story and what happens to them :) So using those "good stuff" as pillars (as CT suggested!) and also having strong characters as a "foundation" of sorts can help you build an engaging story that will keep readers wanting more :)
Happy writing! I look forward to checking out your work in the future!!!! :)
