Unlock the Secret Power of Cliffhangers: How Writers Keep You Glued to Every Page
4. Plot Cliffhangers
Plot cliffhangers are triggered by events in the story.
The plot of a story consists of a chain of linked events, one leading to another in a cause-and-effect manner. These linked events often use a plot device to drive a cliffhanger, creating an ideal spot to cut and jump for maximum suspense.
You should remember, though, that the plot is not the story. The story is about theme and emotion, so plot cliffhangers tend to be thin unless layered with one or more of the other types of cliffhangers we’ve discussed.
