[…] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I’ve hammered in a few times the simple fact that action and suspense are made up of action and reaction, cause/ effect, stimulus/response. I know I have talked about it in most of my Crossing the Physical Barrier series and probably all of the Crossing Emotional Barrier series, and it was the main issue in my King of Dramatic Impact article.

I've never heard it called backwards stimulation response before but that makes so much sense and it is really annoying. I know I'm guilty of it in my WIP in lots of places but I plan on fixing those niggles after I type 'The End'. Great post!

This is kind of like tuning into an episode of America's Test Kitchen for the first time with the desire to start cooking. Reading through the post and seeing all the science behind the art... craft, is incredibly intimidating and I'm a bit worried that I get so caught up in the structure, I'd lose sight of the end product: edible food. Regardless, just like ATK's end product, it looks to good not to try!

Oh Tiffany, I have enjoyed Harlan Coben (thanks to Mom Margie), and always marveled at they way he gets me so deep into the story. Sometimes I'm so into the story I forget to go back and say "how did he do it?" Thanks for breaking it down with a "life" moment. And I'm pretty darn sure I have done #3 in my opening scene of my book. I can almost picture it. Got to jump on the computer tonight and fix that! Thanks for another great post! Merry

In reply to tiffanylawsoninmanisnakededitor. Post Tiffany Method to Madness, I always perform a search-and-destroy mission for "as." If it's not followed by "if", it's slaughtered. Both you and Margie snapped my garter on response before stimulus. So many times, it's become second nature to ask then answer the stimulus/response question during first draft mode. Those garter bruises hurt. Love your posts. Love Naked Editor. Hugs to Scout!
