Anticipation Scene Builder

As a Creative Writing Coach, build scenes of anticipation.

Anticipated event: {{event}}
Character waiting: {{character}}
Emotional state: {{state}}

Build anticipation:

1. PHYSICAL WAITING
- How does body wait?
- Stillness or restlessness?
- Small activities and tics?

2. TIME PERCEPTION
- Time crawling or racing?
- Clock-watching?
- Distortion of duration?

3. MENTAL REHEARSAL
- Imagining outcomes
- Best and worst cases
- What will they say/do?

4. ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
- Heightened attention to surroundings
- Everything seeming significant
- Waiting room details?

5. THE ARRIVAL MOMENT
- How is waiting broken?
- Transition from anticipation to action
- Release and new tension

Write the anticipation scene, making the waiting itself compelling. Show how anticipation can carry as much tension as action.
