Advice for writing suspense fiction books is something that is not exact. If you intend to write a suspense fiction book, and have a favorite author, then you may want advice that's geared toward mimicking them to a degree. But when you look around, you find that many other authors offer different advice for laying down a good suspense fiction book. It's in the eye of the beholder and can vary from person to person, and author to author.
If you look closely at your favorite author, and compare him/her with a few others, you're going to find that creativity reveals itself in different ways in all of us. What you need to do is get a good basic idea of writing principles, and then fashion them into a style that belongs to only you, where you are able to let out your creative side, and it saturates the words that you put down.
People have different ways of responding to their creative sides. Many are similar, but never the same. Creative people tend to be stimulated more than the average Joe by outer influences. These are things like weather, starry skies, oceans, and other things in nature. They see things with a different slant than others. They marvel and wonder at things in the world, and their light shines on everything in a very different color than others.
Creative people have intense moods that can be affected by weather or other people. Solitude doesn't seem to bother them as much as it does others, because it's here that they can tune in to their creative forces and find a unique kind of comfort there. They contemplate the creator, the long for something intriguing. Some will paint, some will build, and some will write. They must have an outlet for the feelings that swell up within them. So your writing should be a flow. You should learn to build the suspense, but also let yourself flow through your words.
I've found that I, like many others, prefer to write by a method known as Freewriting. This is also known as 'pantsing', which comes from the term 'writing by the seat of their pants'. This method is a great outlet for artistic expression, and allows you to let the creativity inside begin to flow. Even if what you're writing doesn't make that much sense, at least it's coming out. Before you know it, after winging it for a bit, you have your first rough draft.
Of course, this rough draft is more than just rough, it may even seem disastrous. But you need to get used to doing some tough editing when using this method. You'll find a lot of things to simply throw away, but like digging for diamonds, you'll find a few diamonds to polish and shine deep within the dirt. Think of this rough draft as the ball of clay that you need to grab before going to the potter's wheel. From there, you can shape and mold it until it becomes a beautiful masterpiece.
Once the rough draft is in place, and you're tweaking it, you're going to run into places where the 'exposition' may give you some trouble. Don't be discouraged, this happens with seasoned veterans as well. You have to give some thought as to where to reveal the plot, and where to give sample information that will cause your readers to come to their own conclusions. It can be a bit tricky, but makes the reading great.
Writing suspense fiction books is challenging and fun. It can be great outlet for your creative side that's busting a gut to find it's way into the world. Once you learn to tap into it at will, it will flow like a river and you can produce new and uniquely beautiful things within your masterpieces of work. Challenge yourself to let go, set yourself free in your mind, and capture the event on paper.
