How To Make A Grown Man Cry! (A.K.A. How To Have Your Readers Emotionally Invested In Your Book)

1- Grab their Tear-ducts!

(You need your readers to fall in love with one of your characters!) For me I fell in love with dobby in Harry Potter! (So the way to do that, is make an adorable and sometimes relatable character, that goes through hardships and survives.) So when something


Me- "Or a Grown Woman."

2- Add Cute Unique

Characteristic For

Your Character!

(I love dobby's characteristic , which is him speaking in the third person.)



Me- "Yes you are Dobby, yes you are!"

(I think "Natsu from Fairytail" has a super unique characteristic. "I've got a fire in my belly." Every time he says that you know "shit just got real,")
You want your character to be unique and un-similar to anyone else's. Like for instants you have a character named "Josadiah Hemston." who is a detective who unlike, "Psych", "the Mentalist", and "Monk" who's abilities are  based off "Sherlock Holmes's" ability to pay close attention to detail. 
Josadiah's is a detective who can read minds. He snatches his killers by finding evidence to build a good enough case against them to try them for the murders they have or will commit. his unique characteristic is when he's reading peoples minds his eyes will start to glow so he has to where sunglasses all the time and he has to hum, "Stand by Me" to calm his mind so he only has to focus on one mind and not all of them. When he hums you know he's about to catch his killer. LOL!

Me- "And he's your husband!"

3- Have Your Unique Character Have A Relationship With Someone unexpected! 

 I think unique charters should get with someone just as equally unique. (like Ron & Hermione! Their Love surprised me so much!) I think love in books should be unexpected. You know like the real thing! You want people to be half expecting the couple to happen and half not sure if they will get together. Give them cute things like this: They fight a lot, they finish each others sentences, they may fall in love at first sight. It doesn't matter, you want the two unique characters that you make a couple to share something that no other book couple has. So make your own cute thing for your characters!
