#WritersCoffeeClub: Can you feel your characters' emotions?
This questions confuses me, which must be part of my answer. Which is, the plot or backstory creates a situation. The situation creates an array of possible emotional reactions, one of which I give to the character. If I didn't feel the emotion this specific character would feel, how would I know which of all the possible reactions to give to the character? Y'all help me out here.
