#WordWeavers 3Oct- How do you convey your characters’ emotions?
Often, and with many adverbs. 😆
In all seriousness, it's a combination of dialogue, inner thought, and body language. There's no specific equation, it's whatever the character or scene requires. The most important thing is that the reader feels it.
As an empathetic person (and a HSP), emotions are one of my favorite things to write (and read). And if I'm allowed to pride myself on one thing, it's how I convey them in my stories.
