The feeling of isolation does not mean that you are alone. It is a feeling that you are on your own even if there are people around you. This concept is one that I like to use in my writing, especially with certain kinds of books. Because it can drive the fear factor sometimes within the book. When a person has a belief that they need to get out of a dangerous situation, but they are on their own to do it, it can drive a fear within that person. This sense of fear or doom can move a reader to want to know more and to know whether the character in the fear of impending doom will manage to get themselves out of it. I like this because it can help move the reader as well as change the navigation of the story. Like at first the writer may be thinking the person has to die but changes it because of how the story begins to develop. Using the feeling of isolation can help the writer with their character development, such as making the character more past their fears and have the courage to do what needs to be done, even if it’s something they would never do.
In the end, for me, writing is fun but has its challenges. I love using concepts like the feeling of isolation to help develop my characters and for the reader to get a better sense of who the character is and what kind of situation they are in. I have many concepts I like to use when writing, although I do not use them in every book I write. But I will share these concepts with the world, for maybe it can help a fellow writer.
