The dramatic tension in writing is creating a suspense effect that creates in the reader as your story progresses. Thriller writers use several different techniques to create this effect.

Tension arises where there is a risk  for the characters in the story, and uncertainty as to some aspect  of the outcome.

avoid the risk, as the genre usually dictates whether the main character will ultimately succeed.
