Use Your Characters' Thoughts to Build Tension & Reveal Character

This month the online version of "The Writer" magazine has a great, in-depth article by writer and editor, Stephen Delaney, about how you can use your characters' thoughts to build tension in your fiction, reveal character, and more.  You can read the full article here. You might have to register, but it's free and you'll get access to all their online content including hundreds of articles on the craft of writing as well as interviews with authors, editors, professors, and agents.   We should do a writing exercise based on this article.  I'll come up with something and post it here next Monday!
