The readers attention will follow the characters attention
Give the reader the same evidence the character acted on
Give evidence to backup claims of feelings, knowledge...
Don't tell your conclusion of the characters feelings, instead show the character's actions and let the reader deduce their emotions.
The reader will be emersed if the character naturally reacts.
But emersion will be broken if the reader detects the writer butting in with his opinions or facts
Trust readers are smart enough to make their own deductions/conclusions
Hide fact reader is working for payoff
Give 2+2 but don't give 4
Make the reader Feel
-Make the reader work (to consider what it means to feel that way because they haven't heard it described like that and in the process they will try on the feeling and feel it themselves.
-Earn the emotion (On one hand The good Doctor S5E7 earns the emotion, on the other hand Star Trek Discovery tries to evoke emotion from their character every other scene even though the situation hasn't earned it because they haven't put in the long work to build the relationships first before they put them in jeopardy or what not.)
Grab team, teach newby(meaning the others have a repour of doing something on this scale before that is understood, so give them a job in a past life(journal) like this),
explain problems, break into pieces, piece missing, solve piece in novel suprise
compare w italian job, which goes dif, because the target changes throwing out their planning so they have to improvize., but if u make the reader work as hard as the characters and make them loose that work with them, you could just reference the work, or let the characters reapply the preperation to the new problems.
Iceburg (you see the top but there is all this foundation beneath it that you dont see but you can sense if its missing.)
Treat your world like a cast of characters
Personality
Exsisted before the book
Quirks
Things happen there not related to the plot
Flaws and strengths(challenges vs things that are easy in this world)
Playlists and Pintrest
Our brain uses prejudice to size up a situation, or room, or stranger super quickly, and we can take advantage of this with pintrest and playlists to stimulate that modeling skill and fleshing out the scenes making them come alive
Ultimatly to give people a clear, lasting, delicous taste of paradise, then rip them back to the present, so they long for paradise in a way that draws them to action that builds paradise today.
I feel this way already and it drives me like nothing else. Looking at what that mourning drove me to accomplish so far, I wondered what type of impact it might have if everyone shared my angst.
