I know how to write a sad scene—I can set it up, I can build the atmosphere, I can make the plot tragic.
But when it comes to actually putting the emotion into the words, I always feel like something’s missing.
It’s like there’s a disconnect between what I know the moment should feel like and what actually ends up on the page.
I know how it’s supposed to go, but sometimes I feel like I can’t fully tap into the emotions because I haven’t lived through something that heavy myself.
So the scene ends up feeling a bit… shallow? Not bad, just not as deep as I want it to be.
Is it just me?
