Episode 001 Holding Audience Attention

In this, our first episode (note the subtle use of the royal plural to raise the author's own sense of self-importance), we learn how to sustain our audience's attention for a long chapter (not to mention a long book) in today's fast paced, mile-a-minute, triple shot venti java chip frappuccino world.

A young man going by the internet handle Maurice A. Nigma posed this question not too long ago. Mr. Nigma is a writer of fanfiction. You can find his work on popular venue Fanfiction.net. He also posts regularly on the Tales Series forums.
