My wife has been watching #supernatural recently, so today I sent her this pic I saw online and she hasn't stopped laughing, but I don't know what's so funny about it. 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

3. Craft a secret. Give your MC a secret they’re desperate to keep. Make it clear that there would be devastating consequences for the MC if this secret got out. Then we’ll understand why they have to keep it close—& you’ll create suspense for us to see if it ever gets aired.

2. Create a dire situation. Losing $10 isn't fun, but losing $10k is a lot worse. Ramp up the consequences of the plot’s events. Make them significant enough to truly transform the MC’s life; the more that’s on the line, the more invested readers will be.

1. Make it personal. Give your MC a personal tie to the events of the plot — otherwise, the stakes may feel too low. Why do they care? Why is it personally important to them to get involved? Give them a reason to be caught up in the plot action.

Want to instantly make your story more compelling? Raise the stakes. Stakes are key if you want to engage readers — they’re what make us care about the events of the story & compel us to keep reading. Here are 3 ways to heighten them in your book (a 🧵):

@AWrites116 Mostly number one except, I cannot see characters facial features unless I really concentrate. Everything else is a 1, always. 😂

Everyone please stop what you're doing and tell me which one you see when you read. This is blowing my mind.

@EliseMeder Also noting that it also plays in to ableism. I have friends who struggle to read due to disabilities — picture books help them. It’s such an extraordinary skill set, from the writers to the art! Disgusting, toxic comments like this need to stop. All books are books. 💖

I tend to stay out of discourse given it’s typically toxic in nature and Twitter allows zero nuance, but I saw something today that I think can’t be ignored. This elitist, bullying attitude is something I’ve noticed happening more and more in the community.
