This may be stating the obvious very plainly, but every genre has an accompanying emotion that it is meant to evoke. They are:
Fantasy - Wonder
Sci-Fi - Wonder
Romance - Love/Warm Fuzzies/Heat
Mystery - Curiosity
Thriller - Anxiety/Anticipation
Horror - Anxiety/Fear/Anticipation
There are other genres and other emotions they're meant to evoke, but at least once in every story you have to hit these notes. A fantasy novel where nothing is out of the ordinary is just a historic fiction, which is a great genre! But it is not fantasy! Without the wonder of magic or strange cities or weird curses, it isn't what the reader wants.

Preparing for my Cambridge exam has been hard work and doing that while participating in another internship/summer course has left me completely exhausted. But it's almost over!! Tomorrow's the big day! 🌟
i often take walks around the neighborhood in the evenings, and the other day i spotted a rabbit along the side of the street. i walked towards it and as one might expect, it hopped off into the brush. as i got closer i noticed there was actually a narrow path there i’d never noticed before.
i followed down this path and saw the rabbit again. as soon as i drew near it would hop off down the path a bit and seem to wait for me to catch up. it brought me to a magical little area i never knew existed, full of birds and frogs and a lovely section of wetlands.
i truly felt like a storybook character. i’m so glad i had my camera to snap photos of my adventure. i only had a 50mm lens so i was ill-prepared to photograph wildlife, but i went back again today with my zoom lens and captured some frogs and birds!
im going to tag all posts of and about this new place as “secret forest.’
[image description: the first photo is of a cottontail rabbit sitting on a narrow dirt path in a dense forest. the second and third photos are of the narrow path in different places. end image description.]
