So becauss we are done with our first tip. We are going to our second tip.

SECOND TIP: Withhold information from your readers.

Withhold information from your readers. When writing fiction, only give readers the information they need to know in the moment. Ernest Hemingway’s iceberg theory in writing is to show your readers just the tip of the iceberg. The supporting details—like backstory—should remain unseen, just like the mass of an iceberg under the water’s surface. This prevents readers from getting overwhelmed with information and lets them use their imagination to fill in the blanks.

As a writer we need to make the reader think what will happen next. What would be the flow of the story.

We need to make them imagine the next scene. It also helps us to catch the readers attention. If we left them hunging on that scene they will definitely wait for the next chapter to know what happen.

Sometimes we need to left them hunging for awhile so they will imagine a possible scene and they will continue waiting for the next update.

And as a author we should not give all the scene on one chapter. We need to seperate those scenes to make the readers wait and keep supporting our creation. Because if you put it all in one chapter it would be boring for some reader.

Giving them a few information is a good technique to make them love your work.
