Infuse Emotion Into Your Writing
Revitalize Your Writing with Emotion
Summary
Have you ever read a passage that felt alive, leaving you speechless? That's when writing truly shines. This magic stems from the power of emotions. Despite being one of the most impactful writing tools, emotions are often seen as abstract rather than concrete elements. They captivate readers and immerse them in the narrative.
My goal is to demystify this process and make it accessible to you, providing a shortcut to crafting bestsellers. When setting a scene, intertwine it with the protagonist's thoughts and feelings. When readers can perceive how the character feels about their surroundings or situation, they experience it, too. Emotional impact resonates long after the book is closed because readers connect with what the characters feel. Mere description, devoid of emotional context, remains cold and detached, no matter how vivid. Here are three examples that illustrate this concept:
Examples
"The Mayor's Wife" by Martha Tucker
Indigo’s anguish in the hospital is palpable. She faces life, death, acceptance, and rejection, yearning for unconsciousness. “Devastation only comes to those who are conscious,” she reflects, her body curled up, pleading with God. Her heart is twisted as she faces the doctor, unsure if she’s dreaming. Her agonizing scream seems to momentarily transport her away from pain.
This scene could have been a dry description: Indigo lay in the white hospital bed, awaiting the doctor’s news. He informed her of her husband’s death, prompting her to scream. Infusing emotion brings life to the narrative.
"The End Justifies the Means" by T.H. Moore
Jalen, wrapped in his blanket, is besieged by the chaos of his parents’ conflict. His silent wish for the argument to end is shattered by a scream, compelling him to action. He races downstairs, frozen by what he sees.
Moore could have simply described the dim room and the muffled voices beyond the door. Instead, he paints Jalen’s emotional turmoil and fear.
"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald masterfully captures the essence of the night and the pivotal moment between Gatsby and Daisy. The cool night air carries an elusive excitement, and the stars seem lively. As Gatsby envisions a ladder to a mystical realm, his emotions build to the climax of Daisy’s kiss, transforming her into a cherished vision, a moment of pure incarnation.
Fitzgerald doesn’t just describe a setting; he imbues it with feeling and anticipation.
