Dramatic Flair

Sometimes books are just so…

turned up to 11…

for no good reason. I can’t really deal with that level of intensity throughout.

Just take a breath.

I did read one that felt that way, but the plot and the situation warranted it, so it wasn’t bad. And I wanted to know what came next, unlike when you’re just dramatically flailing because you can.

Most of the time it’s better to have differing levels of intensity and drama throughout the book to help the story. And to keep the reader engaged.
