#WordWeavers 3: How do you convey your characters' emotions?

Draft 1: dialogue (which comes most naturally to me), and interior thoughts (especially for characters who consider carefully before opening their mouths, like Heir/ Regent Ruarnon).

Draft 2-3: more internal thoughts/ dialogue. Insert & highlight lazy body language/physical emotion cues.

Draft 4+: add proper, differentiated by character body language (usually the last thing I fix because everything else distracted me earlier 😉 ).
