Ascriber / Writers Eyes Workshop - 31.
Anticipation
Skip the Workshop take me straight to the submissions
Workshop 31 This workshop has been set by Phil Emery, Head of Creative Writing, Keele University
Write a paragraph PRIOR to that where a dead body is discovered. This paragraph should aim to create anticipation in the reader, make them want to hurry forward, but not give too much of the game away. But it should also, ideally, hold the reader's attention and in some way hold them back. So an effect of conflicting emotions is what to aim for.
Why not do some research first, and see how writers handle this moment of leading up to the discovery of something grisly or frightening?
Poetry 40 lines or less. Can you do it poetically?
Select a news paper article and build on how a dead body was found.
