Bring the tension as you close out your #NaNoWriMo: Heroes usually know they're on the clock, but sometimes it's more suspenseful when they don't. If the audience knows there is a ticking bomb under the restaurant table, every moment waiting for the check is terrifying.

@WatchParty1 Glad you referenced Independence Day, because that has a perfect example of the ideas on the Talk It Out card: The captured alien in Area 51. That scene tells us a lot about the threat that humanity faces, but also creates a lot of tension in the moment.

@writeremergency They're the bad aliens who rule the galaxy. Think of them like the aliens in Independence Day or any similar movie. You never really meet a single one or see the story from their perspective. I suppose I could add a single one to speak for them but it would rework the story a lot

Remember the poisoned dates. List four things in your hero's world that might be poisoned (literally or metaphorically). How might your hero discover them? #NaNoWriMo

Does your #NaNoWriMo use a narrator? What if that narrator is lying, or otherwise unreliable? Consider ways you could misdirect the reader.
