How are emotion and genre linked in writing fiction? with Roz Morris [Video]

Excerpt from interview with Roz Morris on writing emotion
“Being in control of the emotion you are writing is a really important writing skill.
The emotion you write is closely linked to the genre because you have to know as a writer what emotion the reader of your genre is seeking.
Are they seeking thrills or shivers?
Or a bit of romance, do they want to be scared and what kind of scariness? Do they want a cozy level of scary? Or do they want something really dark, something that speaks to them deeply.
All that comes from writing emotion, and understanding what emotion the reader is looking for is the key to understanding your genre.
