Can you connect four emotions?
So much of the writing process can feel technical. Certain things need to happen by certain pages or certain points in the story. But when you go too far in the direction, you lose what makes it last: the emotion of it all. I become a far better, more engaging writer when I track the emotions of my stories. When I really think about what each character is feeling from scene to scene. It makes it more accessible for an actor to later to do something with it. It makes it easier for a reader to fall into the story and get comfortable. It makes the world go round.
