Tip #14: Stakes that feel high

high stakes do not equal high action. Stakes work best on an emotional level... This is why thousands of people dying can feel boring, but letting a sister down can be gripping.
The more compelling your stakes, the more compelled your reader will be to see what choice{s} your protag will make--and how it'll all turn out.
