 @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 😅

 @66e742bb Since I write in a Deep POV I was more thinking of the POV character. Yes, I do allow my POV character to draw conclusions about someone else, even if they aren't always right. She can also flat tell someone, "I'm angry at you right now." There are always exceptions. 😃

 @7b682b86 Exactly. Oh well, writing is always a balance, there's no escape 😂

 @66e742bb The questions can be frustrating when they want us to address a big topic with minimal space to do so. I therefore, usually, give my generalized answer and ignore all the exceptions. 😃
