A Reader's Guide to Author's Jargon 1 8/14/2010 8:36:51 AM Jargon Series
In Media Res - This is when a story begins in the middle of an action. Nice effect, because it sweeps the reader into a mood of immediacy - sort of getting on the roller coaster as it makes its first drop and then worrying about who's in the car when the ride stops. It's a favorite movie opening mode.
