Fear

How can you write a frightfully scary story? You might not know your reader so it’s hard to guess their phobias other than typical stereotypes. Of course, making it too scary might discourage readers from pursuing your topic any further, whilst what some might fear could be hilarious to others. But if you create a character with feelings then you might create an engaging story even if it doesn’t chill your reader. You can create lots of suspense by throwing in the unexpected; providing that it’s not too bizarre. And dark places are awesome! You may not like going into them because you don’t know where you’re going to end up, but the feeling and the transformation when you come out of them can be fantastic. While the unknown may create suspension for the reader and encourages them to read on; it may even help the reader to cope with their situation.
