"This is a critical piece of writing advice. With the prevalence of movies, TV, and cinematography, book writers forget that their craft is not a stylized screenplay. Television is a distinct art from books. Both have their strengths, but modern writers often fall into the trap of writing their books like they're watching a movie. This instance of interiority in strong reader-POV connection is case in point. In movies, we spectate. In books, we experience. Writers who understand this can make their readers experience breathtaking emotional stakes/tension/rollercoasters/thrills far beyond that of movies. Movies transport the viewer to another world. Books transport the reader to another personal experience."
