I think it comes from what you feel as a personal experience. Conveying it onto the page is where you'll have to get creative and is more of your individual art style.
Dramatic structure. Character arcs. Thematic underpinnings. Relevant world-building. Appropriate color palettes. Competent yet eloquent methods to unfold all of these. :) Just six of my bloody favorite things. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind’s journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul’s fate revealed. In time, all points converge, hope’s strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe’s endless refrain, We must see all in nothingness... before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ -- Diamond Dragons (series)
I've been writing by "sketching" my scene in with boring dry descriptions, then going back the next day and diving into the descriptions and actions for what happens. I've been really working on adding in more sensory detains other than how things look. I'll have to go through on the next edit and check for emotion. I mean, I think I'm doing okay with that, but am I really?
It's coincidental that you should mention a wolf with hackles raised: the last scene I wrote in my WIP involves a team of wolves attacking a cult. A fair amount of "rips," "snaps," and "exsanguinations."
Out of curiosity, is it ok to writer 1st person but from different POV characters in different chapters? I can tell I’m better at writing 1st person but my story is currently in 3rd limited
You can, it may confuse likely the readers unless you emphasise the name of the person of the pov through the title of the chapter or through very clear signs that this is the person of the pov I think. The chapter by title name makes more sense. This is why most people go with 3rd person when writing multiple pov's.
Once I am a globally published author, creator of The Ancient World multi-series universe, I am going to be paying this man directly to criticize the crap out of everything I write. Im 31 I been listening watching and reading on the art of writing but this man is just as wise as a gandalf in his own category. Bro, so wise. Hahaahahahahahahha.
Well said. I'd like to hear you give some concrete tips on how to evoke emotion in the reader. It's a mysterious art to some of us.

Excellent. Thank you.

I feel called out. I struggle with writing emotion
Crushed it. Keep the videos coming.

I just remember a story about a werewolf girl who lured a bully into a trap. "How could someone this disgusting taste so good?"😮

It's happened before. Alice Borchardt's Tales of Guinevere had 1st person for Guinevere and 3rd person for everyone else.
