Plotting is like sex. Plotting is about desire and satisfaction, anticipation and release. You have to arouse your reader's desire to know what happens, to unravel the mystery, to see good triumph.

It can bring desire to a frenzy, in which case you are in a good position to bring off a wonderful climax. — Colin Greenland
