How To Write Suspense

4 Comments 18 September 2012

I was asked by several people to post my Prezi presentation that I used at the League of Utah Writers Conference last week. Unfortunately, my presentations are usually not text-heavy, so unless you were at the convention this presentation might not make any sense. (A lot of the presentation is just images, and then I would verbally describe things.) So, if you were there and wanted the Prezi, it’s here. I hope it’s useful.

    Like I said, it’s not text-heavy. But i’m happy to answer any questions you have here in the comments section.

  2. WHM says:

    What’s the dilemma associated with the photo of the cruise ship?

    Also: that quote from Michael Moorcock is excellent.

  3. Robison Wells says:

    That dilemma is from the The Dark Knight. I assume you’ve seen it, but if not: there’s a bomb on each ferry boat, and the passengers have the detonators for the other boat’s bomb. So the dilemma is the burden placed on each boat: kill the other people or let them kill you.

  4. WHM says:

    I have seen it. I just totally missed the visual reference.

    Also: you’re one of two people I have met that actually knows how to use presentation software effectively. That MBA was totally worth it.
