How to Write Powerful Character Emotions Readers Will FEEL
One of the most crucial ways to draw readers into your story, and keeps them there, is by showing how the characters feel. However, readers don’t want to be told that a character is angry or elated. They want to become angry or elated along with him/her. This deep immersion into the character’s head and heart (called deep POV) is what keeps readers talking about a story long after they’ve finished it.
In this week's writer coaching session, we'll examine several ways you can help readers experience your characters' emotions and create a story that has a lasting impact.
