Writing help: how do I wring emotions from my reader like water from a dish rag?
I am finding that my writing is emotionally flat.
That's not always true but it is more often than not.
I will remember what I was thinking and feeling when I wrote a paragraph, but after some time has gone by I'll go back and read it and all I can think is - man, that's dull.
I know that this is a subjective thing and that what might move one person will leave another cold, but some writers manage to tap into a deep, primal emotional center that most people respond to. I want to do that.
Any advice?
