Dave Dawkins (D. Harrigon)<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> What are some tips and tricks to convey strong emotions?Character actions are the best, I find.

Just don't overdo it.<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WritingTips</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WritingCommunity</a>
