WriteWorld: Sagging Middle Syndrome: How To Rescue Your Novel From Its Fatal Effect
Sagging middles especially result when there is no increase in tension as the plot progresses.

Characters should have more at stake as events unfold. The emotions should run higher and deeper. And each event should leave the reader more concerned about what will happen next.
