Powerful writing

Ever noticed how some writers have an uncanny ability to play with your emotions? Within a few pages, you can go from shaking with excitement to crying your eyes out to flying into a rage.

Taking the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride is essential in novels and short stories Maybe you want to impress them, get them excited, make them cautious, get them angry. The better a job you do at making them feel, the more influential you are as a writer.

So don’t be frightened to broach tough subjects and challenge your reader.
