and I just like ????? don’t want that in my escapism, first of all, but it’s also more of a jump scare where you do an emotion TO the reader as opposed to going on an emotional journey WITH the reader

which is often a habit young writers grow out of as they get more life experience

(I cannot overemphasize how much this is based on my own experience, I am like a cartoon character desperately laying out pieces of track in front of a barrelling train in terms of writing skill, I am not giving advice from on high 😂)

You know you need to "escalate" but you don't know how to escalate EMOTIONALLY so you just pull another, "bigger" tragedy out of your hat and hope that it gives the reader enough of a shock.
