Actions

Read Proverbs 19-21

Proverbs 20:11 "Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right."

Why can’t we just write, “she felt sad” about our character? It’s because we want the reader to experience the emotion right along with our character.

So we show the character in actions that are recognized as sadness. Or we can pair less common actions associated with a particular emotion with telling why the character is acting in a particular way.

A character’s actions show what kind of person she is. And the character’s actions will show how she changes and grows throughout the story.
