You know it was more about slowing down the scene and letting the read in on the MC's interior thoughts and feelings in between the dialogue and action. <br /><br />Say for example, the guy the MC had a crush on just told her he broke up with his girlfriend. Slow it down and have the MC process that to the reader (like an internal OMG! WHOA! What does this mean for me? for us? in thought or creative "showing") before carrying on with dialogue or the next action.<br /><br />Make sense?Christina Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799776834213400246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-27875801931119188702011-08-01T13:47:38.873-04:002011-08-01T13:47:38.873-04:00Question for you: what did she add that helped you...Question for you: what did she add that helped you connect more with her characters?

There is supposed to be a change in the emotional arc, even if it's just a slight change. Great advice!Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-20782104056472925642011-08-01T08:52:21.970-04:002011-08-01T08:52:21.970-04:00This is a great idea for me to keep in mind in the...This is a great idea for me to keep in mind in the current round of revisions on my WIP.

So if our books are lacking in this area, if we're not showing (rather than telling) our characters' emotions, then the reader won't feel connected to them.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636585111057799728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-78052834499143289342011-08-01T07:42:51.983-04:002011-08-01T07:42:51.983-04:00Being an interior designer, I know color can set t...Being an interior designer, I know color can set the mood. I love using color to express emotion. It is a great way to get the reader drawn in. Some of my favorite books have me 'feeling' for the character. Isn't that what we are all going for? <br />Great post!Christine Danekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979611961825725350noreply@blogger.com
