2 Samuel 19:7 "Now
therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear
by the Lord, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this
night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from
thy youth until now."
We throw everything we can
think of at our characters. We’re not trying to torture them, we’re just trying
to write a compelling story.
Our characters show they
are affected by the events and heartaches that happen to them. We want to make
them seem real by showing how deeply they feel their emotions.
But then they have to get
a grip on themselves. They can’t wallow forever or we’ll lose the reader’s
attention.
