Here's an ascending technique I use a lot. It basically consists of moving up, usually in half steps. The harmony is most often a major chord moving up a half step to a first inversion 7 chord, leading another half step up as a V7 - I resolution. I will commonly start it diatonically then move out of the original key.

As I've stated way earlier in this blog series, I feel a natural tendency to descend most of the time. I then would use todays technique to move upward, and it's a good one but I need more.

The ending of todays "moment" just fizzles out. Upon listening back I realized it wasn't ideal. This ascension would like to end in triumph or exaltation - sorry. It's just what happened and I thought I should leave it as yet another sign of my imperfection. Work In Progress.
