#Write30 – Show the Emotion

      Comments Off on #Write30 – Show the Emotion

Select a moment in your story when your character is undergoing intense emotion – e.g: Disappointment, Grief,  Excitement, Being Conflicted.

Now write down 3-5 actions that demonstrate the emotion.

  • Cursing
  • Physically doing something (or not doing something)
  • Is it explosive? Unexpected or uncharacteristic?

To this moment add the following:

One object that only the protagonist would notice – ie, it’s not relevant for others

or

One object that everyone sees but your protagonist sees it in a unique way
