RE: How long to sea mail a package to the UK from australia? I can&#39;t seem to find a specific time period for how long it takes to mail packages to the UK through sea mail... except dates for Christmas deliveries, which are almost 3 months prior.
One thing a suspense date IS NOT, it is not a date by which time something is required to be done in most cases. It's just a control for any needed follow up. In the real world, a suspense date is a date that something needs to be done by.
Suspense can be created through almost any element of a story, including the title, characters, plot, time restrictions and word choice. For example, if the plot involves the hero trying to reach an intended victim before a bomb is set to explode, the author has used time restriction as a suspense device.
