Give Your Soul to Your Writing

Making a piece come alive means putting your whole soul in it. By this I mean, if you're writing a sad part, summon up the saddest feeling you ever had and put that down. The reader can tell because this is usually written better and more descriptive. Do this with all major feelings you have felt.

This doesn't have to be just for descriptions, put your feelings and mind into any part of your story and it will affect the reader.
