Many times I have gotten into a book and I find myself either incredibly happy or utterly depressed. Although it is great that a book can make me feel those emotions, I would rather have a book be able to make me feel more than one emotion. Once or twice I've had an amazing book make me feel more than one emotion at a time. I've laughed while crying over a book, and for that I absolutely loved the book. It is difficult to do but I think writing that can move me is amazing. I will try to make my future writing emotional and appeal to people's feelings.

We have all heard of writing in first, second, and third person view. But something I have seen a few times in books now is multi perspective. In the book I am reading now (Monument 14 Sky on Fire) is like this. The chapters go back and forth from two brothers, Alex and Dean's, perspective. The first book in the series took place in an area where both of the brothers were together, and it was told from only Dean's point of view. The change of perspective was a nice way to do the story because both characters were separated and it was nice that it told what was happening to both of them. If I ever write a long story or book I will definitely think about using this strategy.
What is life without a little bit of drama? Drama is what makes life interesting and eventful. I believe the same goes for writing.Have you ever read a book that just seems to drag on, and on, and on, because it's just so humdrum? Yeah me too. I love a book that can make me smile and then bawl and then laugh after that. Like in the book I just finished (Monument 14) they add lot's of drama that makes the book very engaging. This writing skill will be very helpful and great to use along with the other ones I have written about.
One thing I have noticed about a lot of books I've read is that along with the main plot, there are a side story or two. It could be two of the main characters having a thing for each other, or it could be one sided like the book I'm reading. I love when books have something going on in the background because it keeps the story interesting. It prevents me from getting bored of the book and keeps my mind busy. I will definitely try to incorporate this skill in my future writing pieces.
