Hey @elfwing,

Here are my two cents. When I write emotional scenes I try to think about where the character’s hands are and what they’re doing, as well as other facial cues. Like others have mentioned, you don’t necessarily  need to show tears to show someone is sad. For example, the character scratches the bridge of their nose, avert’s thei…[Read more]

Can we get this up and running again with brand new lines from characters? I still don’t really have many….but maybe we can expand this to be lines of not just dialogue but just very short bits of our books?

CONGRATS ON YOUR NOVEL!!!! I’m so happy for you! XD That is so exciting.

@annabelle

Hi! Welcome to the KP forum! I’m Lydia. 🙂 You’re writing about mermaids?? How fun! I’ve dabbled in writing mermaid stories myself! I ended up dropping that project, but it was a retelling of Ariel called Rebel. (Now that I’m thinking about it,…[Read more]

Agh, WFR sounds FANTASTIC!!! I’m already rooting for Russel and Eliza. XD

Well, my WIPs are progressing minimally at the moment. However, my brain is still cooking up and mulling over scenes for my Biblical fiction series (And side books). And Simon (the Zealot). AH, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. XD (Joining @elfwing in evil author…[Read more]

Ohhh that’s a great piece of advice!! I’ll have to try that!

I’m not sure this is really counted as ‘advice’ or not, but once I was talking to my dear friend Elfwing. Now, she’s great at sticking with her world and exploring it in different books, kind of like Tolkien does. I, however, am the exact opposite. For me, there are just so many worlds…[Read more]

@elfwing

Whoa, lots of awesome responses – one thing I’ll add is that it can be nice to focus on more than just one sense. If you usually describe the way the tears burn in the back of your character’s eyes, then mention the way the tears glint in the moonlight. If your habit is to describe how hoarse your character’s voice is, then show their…[Read more]

@Elfwing

I just got here and I’m probably quite late, but with describing characters crying, you can use less common bodily responses to strong emotion then just tears. Things like a lump in your throat, trails of watery snot coming out the nose, dry heaving. This could just be a me thing, but sometimes I hear a soft popping noise in my ears when…[Read more]
