character emotions

Showing, not telling. I convey via a web of different approaches that, if I do it right, let the reader discover the emotion for themselves. I could call it deep showing since I write in a deep POV.

At its core, it’s a combination of dialogue, internals, & non-verbals. Too, over time, the character’s personality is learned, though their past comes more slowly. As a reader, when I’m told the emotion I’m less engaged.

 @7b682b86 I feel like there's a time when "they're angry" works better than more complex descriptions to illustrate the anger. But yeah, generally speaking, I tend to frown when a story insists on telling me what characters are feeling 😅
