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
