Another factor is pace: never

neglect the significance of
your readers’ time. If the

narrative gets sluggish and

boring, you’ve lost the

readers. The adrenaline
should keep pumping; the

anxiety levels should never

drop. If your chapter finishes

leaving the readers gasping

for more you’ve already
succeeded.

Lastly, think about the

conclusion before you start.
What is the most likely ending

to the story? It’s okay to leave

some things unsaid, as long

as you are certain the readers
will take the leap. Also

remember, all stories don’t

need to have a happy ending,

so don’t lose sleep over it.

Instead, focus on what you
want the readers to think once

the story is over.
