Another great tip for writing, the story of your dreams.

To keep readers wanting more, your writing needs to get them invested in the conflict, the story, the plot, and character arcs, making them eager to keep reading. How do you achieve this? The answer is to use micro-cliffhangers.

I don’t mean ending your story with a question, such as “What is going to happen next? How are they going to get out of this situation?” I am referring to building up the scene and revealing something unexpected or unsettling to the point where everyone is going to want to know what happens next. This could be the character finding crucial information or a confrontation where the stakes are amping up.

The crux of the tip is to make sure your chapters break at appropriate points, leaving your readers wondering about the what, who, where, when, and how at the end of each chapter. This will have readers on the edge of their seats in no time.
