Accidentally Undercutting Tension (and How to Stop)

Tension and conflict are two different things. And before I get into this writing problem I encounter from time to time, I need to make sure we are all on the same page.

Conflict: This is when problems are happening.

Tension: This is the potential for problems to happen.

In a lot of ways, tension is actually more powerful than conflict, because the anticipation draws the audience in–the worry or fear that something might happen. Jumpy, scary movies are great at dishing out the tension. A character moves slowly through a dark area and the music and camera angles ramp up tension to the point that we are clawing into our seats or pulling our blankets up to our eyes.

It’s entirely possible to have tension without conflict, and conflict without tension. For more on tension vs. conflict, check out my post on it.

Every once in a while, I run into a manuscript that is undercutting tension, accidentally. And sometimes that manuscript is even my own.

I sometimes feel like tension is one of the lifebloods of a powerful story. Without it, it’s harder for the audience to get invested, it’s harder for readers to turn the pages, it’s harder for the story to be powerful. All good stories need some tension.

But sometimes as writers, we undercut the tension in our own story and zap it out of existence, on accident.

For example, we might have one character afraid that something bad is going to happen to them tomorrow, and this creates tension. What if something bad does happen tomorrow? But just after we build up the tension on the page, we have another character come in and explain why that bad thing won’t ever happen tomorrow, and the first character believes it. The tension is suddenly gone.

In a passage, it might read something like this. (And this is just a quick, rough example to illustrate the point.)

Timmy rocked back and forth on his seat at the dinner table. Tomorrow was the first day of school, and he felt sure that Jacob, the schoolyard bully, would want to knock the living daylights out of him; Timmy had put a spider in Jacob’s desk at the end of last year, and Jacob had found it just before the final bell. With the whole summer break, Jacob had to have figured out it was Timmy.

Jacob had fists like bricks, and Timmy could already imagine the mean, boar-like look Jacob got in his eyes whenever he was about to wallop someone. Timmy had hoped to register for the science fair this year, but after tomorrow, he’d be lucky if he could register for the next grade. He was doomed.

“You haven’t touched any of your food.” His mom had walked back into the kitchen to check on him. “Are you feeling alright?”

“Mom … what if Jacob beats me up tomorrow?” Timmy managed to ask.

“That won’t happen,” Mom said.

“Why not?”

“Because Jacob moved at the beginning of summer, remember? You never have to worry about him again.”

Timmy immediately relaxed. That’s right. Jacob had moved. How could he have forgotten? Timmy felt silly for having gotten all worked up over nothing.

He ate a spoonful of mashed potatoes.

This passage seems rather harmless, right? And certainly it would be fine in some stories. But imagine it was the only tension related to the first day of school–which is still pages and pages away. There is nothing else in the text that Timmy hopes or fears for, for the first day of school. So we don’t really feel any tension, from now until then, so we don’t really feel invested in reading about his first day. We cut off the tension too early. Even if Jacob did move, it may have been better for Timmy to not realize that until he was in recess–as long as there was something else to hope or fear about soon after that. We undercut the story’s tension.

VS.

Another way this is a problem, is if the writer does this sort of thing over and over again. Builds up tension, and then cuts it down to nothing, or nearly nothing, soon after. Eventually, whenever tension arises, the audience will subconsciously assume nothing significant will actually come of it … which will eventually result in them not even feeling the tension the writer is trying to put on the page. 

Tension doesn’t have to lead to conflict all the time, but it should lead to something significant much of the time. Otherwise it feels like “false tension”–just a trick the writer is using to try to make the audience afraid over nothing. And if it never leads to any conflict, then it’s going to lose its impact.

Some people in the writing world believe that tension should always lead to conflict, but if you have that perspective, you really miss out on great tension opportunities, and juicy hooks.

Are These Filter Words Weakening Your Story?

After putting my writing on hold for several weeks, I decided to jump back in. I expected to find all sorts of problems with my story–inconsistencies in the plot, lack of transitions, poor characterization–the works. But what began to stick out to me was something to which I’d given little thought in writing.

Filter words.

What are Filter Words?

Actually, I didn’t even know these insidious creatures had a name until I started combing the internet for info.

Filter words are those that unnecessarily filter the reader’s experience through a character’s point of view. Dark Angel’s Blog says:

“Filtering” is when you place a character between the detail you want to present and the reader. The term was started by Janet Burroway in her book On Writing.

In terms of example, you should watch out for:

To see

To hear

To think

To touch

To wonder

To realize

To watch

To look

To seem

To feel (or feel like)

Can

To decide

To sound (or sound like)

To know

I’m being honest when I say my manuscript is filled with these words, and the majority of them need to be edited out.

What do Filter Words Look Like?

Let’s imagine a character in your novel is walking down a street during peak hour.

You might, for example, write:

Sarah felt a sinking feeling as she realized she’d forgotten her purse back at the cafe across the street. She saw cars filing past, their bumpers end-to-end. She heard the impatient honk of horns and wondered how she could quickly cross the busy road before someone took off with her bag. But the traffic seemed impenetrable, and she decided to run to the intersection at the end of the block.

Eliminating the bolded words removes the filters that distances us, the readers, from this character’s experience:

Sarah’s stomach sank. Her purse—she’d forgotten it back at the cafe across the street. Cars filed past, their bumpers end-to-end. Horns honked impatiently. Could she make it across the road before someone took off with her bag? She ran past the impenetrable stream of traffic, toward the intersection at the end of the block.

Are Filter Words Ever Acceptable?

Of course, there are usually exceptions to every rule.

Just because filter words tend to be weak doesn’t mean they never have a place in our writing. Sometimes they are helpful and even necessary.

Susan Dennard of Let The Words Flow writes that we should use filter words when they are critical to the meaning of the sentence.

If there’s no better way to phrase something than to use a filter word, then it’s probably okay to do so.

one of my clearest memories of high school is the time we were in practicing a medley of space show/film themes and the narration got set off by about 30 seconds, and just as it said, “space, the final frontier” (part of the star trek intro), the flutes started playing the doctor who theme because that’s where we were in the song but then the trumpets got confused and started up the star trek theme, and the percussionists didn’t know what was going on and just started hitting stuff and the director tried to fix the recording and it switched abruptly to lightsaber noises and one trombone just started doing the imperial march from star wars and to this day i still find the chaos of that unreasonably funny

#my high school days were wild #but that is a new level #text post

[space-time-and-a-cup-of-tea]

Do you have any advice for writing fight/flight scenes? I have a serious weak point with them-- when I write them, it never feels like the characters are actually having a proper adrenaline rush.

In a fight or flight situation, a person will often focus solely on the danger - to the point of not seeing anything else. Eyewitnesses of armed robberies, for example, can often describe the weapon in great detail and even the hand holding the weapon. They’ll be very fuzzy on what the rest of the person looked like and might not even notice a second person who is not threatening them. 

If you’re writing a dangerous situation, keep descriptions to a minimum. Not only will this replicate that tunnel vision experience, it will also keep the action moving along quickly. 

Other physical things that might happen would be an increased heart rate, feelings of nausea, flushed face, sweating, a rushing sound in the ears etc. They might feel immobilized by panic (fright) or they might act without thinking at all (fight) or they might jump behind a barrier (flight). 

Another way of keeping the writing quick is to have shorter sentences. Write as you normally would in the lead in to the scene and when things start happening, write your sentences in a shorter, more direct way. This will make your reader reach the end of the sentence faster which will make it feel like they’re reading faster and that the story is moving faster. You can also try tricks like in my last sentence where you repeat a word or phrase as part of a sequence of activities. The repetition will also increase reading speed. 

Anyone else have ideas?

Hi, this is Cally again. I’m so sorry about my incommunicado state of late. I’m experiencing a number of pretty serious mental and physical health problems. Hopefully I’ll bounce back soon, but in the meantime I’m attempting to reboot and revive an old favorite doctor x rose fic of mine by entering NaNoWriMo with it. I may or may not be terribly active over the next month or so, but maybe I’ll be able to post some material from it. Somewhat rambling blog update over. I hope y’all get nice weather and good days. 😊

Okay but to expound on my deaf!Harry post…

- Dumbledore contacts Lupin before Harry attends Hogwarts and has him learn sign language and hires him as an interpreter for Harry during classes

- Snape: “are you listening to me potter?”

Harry, speaking to the best of his ability: “to be fair I can’t listen to anyone, however I was, in fact, paying attention”

-Hermione tirelessly helping Harry with speech and pronunciation so he can get spells right

-Ron aggressively trying to learn sign language to communicate with Harry and he’s so embarrassed he can’t get the hang of it at first but Harry thinks it’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for him because what are friends??

-Draco, mouthing: “I hate you”

Harry, misreading hate as date: “If you wanted a date you should have said something sooner.”

-Harry signing rude things at Umbridge.

Umbridge: “What did he say!?”

Lupin: “he said you’re charming.”

-The entire Weasley family learning basic sign language for whenever Harry is with them, making him feel more at home since the Dursley’s never made a decent effort with it.

- McGonagall aware of Harry’s condition from observation at the Dursley’s prepared and learned sign language and signs when she can during her class, allowing Lupin the occasional break.

McGonagall: “You’re not sneaky Mr. Weasley; I very well know what you just signed.”

- Voldemort monologuing in sign language

Harry: “I’m sorry I don’t understand, I’m blind.”

Voldemort: “??????”

Idk, but it’s been years, and I’m still thinking about how out of character both the Doctor and Rose were in The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. It’s a lot more subtle than in The Girl In The Fireplace(unless you’ve seen Steven Moffat’s disgusting commentary in the behind-the-scenes footage). But it still really bugs me. For the sake of simplicity, I’ll break out the bullet points. 

The fact that the Doctor simply walked off instead of looking for Rose was extremely OOC. If anything, Nine was just as protective of Rose as Ten, when written by a competent writer.

The fact that Rose stayed to dance and flirt with a stranger when she had spent the past, oh, EIGHT episodes flirting with, making heart eyes at the Doctor, and periodically saving his life.

Not to mention, she had no way of knowing if the Doctor was in danger or not, and didn't seem to care. Which is very much NOT like Rose Tyler. I mean, we're talking about a woman who previously showed compassion to a Dalek. And in doing so, the compassion so much a part of her changed the Dalek on a fundmental level.

And I feel like Moffat was either setting up the Doctor, Jack, and Rose for a threesome, or he was desperately trying to figure out who he was projecting on for a cheap wish-fufillment trip on the BBC's dime.

I also object to both the fact that Rose had a lot less agency than in other episodes, and the way that Moffat placed a ton of emphasis on the importance of Nancy being a mother. When combined with the distasteful comments Moffat made about Nancy and the Doctor, and later episodes that imply that giving birth to a child is the "true" function of anyone with a uterus.

Anyway, I had to get that off my chest. Thanks!

A Small Eighth Doctor Timeline Theory, Based on Gallifreyan Dates

Barring specific examples, such as The Apocalypse Element, Time Lord timelines will generally sync up with Gallifrey’s, following the First Law of Time/Linearity Protocols. Through this we can use the Gallifreyan dates seen across the franchise to describe the Doctor’s timeline.

First, a quick note. If you calculate it out based on a few sources, a Gallifreyan year seems to be a little bit longer than a human year - about 1.04 Earth years or 380 Earth days - however for the sake of approximation let’s take them to be roughly the same (as Compassion does in Interference).

In the beginning of the TV Movie, we explicitly see that the Seventh Doctor was planning to return the Master’s remains to Gallifrey in 5725.2 RE.

In The Ancestor Cell, the Doctor is about 1018. According to K9, The Gallifreyan Chronicles is almost 115 years after this.  Given that the Doctor was almost 1009 at the time he regenerated, this would make the relative dates of the stories approx. 5734 RE and 5849 RE.

In The Dying Days, the Doctor is apparently 1200 years old. (A lot of people assume this is incorrect and that this is supposed to be shortly after his regeneration, due to the presence of Wolsey and an apparent reference in The Scarlet Empress, but Parkin says that the book is set after the EDAs in his author notes.) This dates the story to approx. 5916 RE.

In The Final Chapter, the TARDIS accidentally ends up travelling to Gallifrey in 10639.5 RE (a point that is actually still in the TV show’s future), perhaps being able to do so as a result of the Doctor’s non-linearity during the EDAs. It’s a little bit of a stretch, but my guess based on the date is that they were actually intending to travel to 310639.5 DI, or 5939.5 RE, making that the Doctor’s relative time when travelling with Izzy and Fey.

According to Neverland, the Doctor saved Charley from the R101 around 6798 RE. Neverland is 6 months later. The Doctor and Charley were then unconscious for another 6 months between Neverland and Zagreus.

The Gallifrey audio series begins around the time that the Doctor and Charley are in the divergent universe. Given the Doctor’s lack of appearance, he likely only returns to N-Space after the Dogma virus is released, a few years later. Romana, Narvin and Leela return to the prime Gallifrey at the end of series 6 around the time of Dark Eyes 2, ‘years’ after leaving - let’s say 10.

While the newer Eighth Doctor box-sets are clearly building up to the Time War, it’s still “many years” away (Vortex 104).

This is all quite simplified, but let’s list the approximate dates we therefore know:

5725.2 RE - The Seventh Doctor regenerates.

~5734 RE - One of the Nine Gallifreys is destroyed (The Ancestor Cell).

~5849 RE - Fitz and Trix are planning to leave the TARDIS (The Gallifrey Chronicles).

~5916 RE - Benny meets the Eighth Doctor for the first time (The Dying Days).

5939 RE - The Doctor travels with Izzy and Fey.

6798 RE - The Doctor saves Charley from the R101.

6799 RE - The Doctor and Charley enter the Divergent Universe.

~6800 RE - The Gallifrey series begins.

~6802 RE - The Dogma Virus is released. Romana, Leela, Brax and Narvin escape into the axis.

~6802 RE - The Doctor, Charley and C’rizz return to N-Space.

~6812 RE - Romana, Leela and Narvin return to the one true Gallifrey

~6812 RE - Narvin begins preparing for the Time War after his error in Ascension. He recruits the Master (Dark Eyes 2).

~7000? RE - The Eighth Doctor regenerates on Karn many years (decades, centuries?) after Dark Eyes 2.

You may notice that there’s an issue here. If the span of time between the Doctor’s travels with Charley and Dark Eyes is just a few years this leaves no room for the 600 years that the Doctor spent on Orbis (especially when you include, for example, the 6 years he spent imprisoned in Prisoner of the Sun). 

While it’s explicitly mentioned that the length of an Orbisian year isn’t necessarily the length on a year on Earth or Gallifrey, it was clearly long enough to have a dramatic effect on the Doctor mentally. This presumably makes it longer than something like the Eleventh Doctor’s 200 year farewell tour - more comparable to his time on Trenzalore, even if Eight like Paul McGann doesn’t really show it as much physically. (This isn’t a problem though. Time Lord aging is inconsistent anyway: the First Doctor was ‘wearing thin’ after 450 years, but a single incarnation of a Time Lord can theoretically survive for 10,000 years.)

There is a simple solution to this, which actually solves another issue with the Eighth Doctor’s lifetime too, but it takes a small reassessment of how most people think about the Big Finish audios:

The Eighth Doctor initially travelled with Lucie Miller before he travelled with Charley Pollard.

This isn’t as big a change as one might think. There’s very little in the way of possible references to Charley during the Eighth Doctor Adventure audios. While the Doctor does refer at one point to having a pet vortisaur in the past, he doesn’t actually mention its name. This could just as easily refer to his riding them back at the academy, as he mentioned to Charley in Storm Warning.

“But doesn’t the Eighth Doctor list Charley before Lucie in his list of companions in The Night of the Doctor?”

I mean, yeah. However that list is not only clearly not exhaustive, but the additional mention of Fitz after the others in the Day of the Doctor novelisation clearly indicates that it isn’t intended to be in chronological order. (Plus, you know, technically the Doctor did travel with Charley first anyway, it was just Six who did so, not Eight.)

This would place the Doctor’s centuries on Orbis into that giant gap between the books/comics and the audios, explaining why we have heard so little regarding what he was doing in that time period. This also helps allow for some of the apparent changes on Gallifrey between the EDA audios and the Gallifrey/monthly ranges and explains why it was the Sixth Doctor who showed up in The Apocalypse Element, with the Eighth being marooned on Orbis at the time.

This gives us our final rough timeline:

5725.2 RE - The Seventh Doctor regenerates.

~5734 RE - One of the Nine Gallifreys is destroyed (The Ancestor Cell).

~5849 RE - Fitz and Trix plan to leave the TARDIS (The Gallifrey Chronicles).

~5916 RE - Benny meets the Eighth Doctor for the first time (The Dying Days).

~5939 RE - The Doctor travels with Izzy and Fey.

~6099 RE - The Doctor starts traveling with Lucie.

~6100 RE - The Doctor is stuck on Orbis.

6776.7 RE - The Etra Prime Incident occurs.

~6789 RE - After several centuries, Lucie and the Doctor are reunited on Orbis.

~6790 RE - Lucie leaves the Doctor (Death in Blackpool).

6798 RE - The Doctor saves Charley from the R101.

6799 RE - The Doctor and Charley enter the Divergent Universe.

~6800 RE - The Gallifrey series begins.

~6802 RE - The Dogma Virus is released. Romana, Leela, Brax and Narvin escape into the axis.

~6802 RE - The Doctor, Charley and C’rizz return to N-Space.

~6803 RE - Charley and the Eighth Doctor are separated (The Girl Who Never Was).

~6805 RE - The Doctor is imprisoned for 6 years (Prisoner of the Sun).

~6811 RE - Lucie, Tamsin and Alex are killed.

~6812 RE - Romana, Leela and Narvin return to the one true Gallifrey

~6812 RE - Narvin begins preparing for the Time War after his error in Ascension. He recruits the Master (Dark Eyes 2).

~7000? RE - The Eighth Doctor regenerates on Karn many years (decades, centuries?) after Dark Eyes 2.
