An interesting article from the New York Times on creating suspense. Give it a look-see.

"Don'y bake a cake, make your family hungry instead." That's cute.

But that's also a double edged sword because I have gotten frustrated and impatient with stories that do that in the past. I will either skip ahead to find the answers I want, or else just drop the story all together if its taking to long. Suspense is nice and all, but it can be a double edged sword. If you take to long, readers will get fed-up with you.
