Escalation in tension is important for your novel. The lack of tension by the middle is why many people put a book down and never pick it up again. It might also be why you're stuck in the muddy middle trying to figure out what to write next. But on this episode I'm not just going to tell you why you need escalating tension, I'm going to tell you a reason no one else is speaking about that could be the reason why you're stuck.
