Have you ever gotten lost?
In The Keystone there is a chapter where Grace's father is kidnapped, and she is following a guy she just met that might know what is going on... and then she loses him.
There is a crowd of people. She is being chased. Someone plows into her and knocks her down.
As she lay on the hard concrete floor, the world spinning around her, I realized as an author that I had tapped into multiple fears that I've had in the past. Maybe you have experienced one of these:
- the fear of losing someone we love
- the fear of being alone
- the fear of being chased
- the fear of something you need being just out of reach
- the fear of missing out (FOMO, my personal favorite, not!)
A scene that taps into so much internal turmoil should be easy to write —it's not. Tapping into personal fears is an excellent way to share and connect with you, the reader.
But the message I really hope comes through is that a lot of people face these fears. And, if you are experiencing one of these now, you are not alone.
