DONALD MASS WRITE TIP #85
What’s your MC’s strongest emotion in your
story? Imagine your MC is mute. How does she physically express what’s inside?
Holly
draped a leg over the arm of the chair. The white stars that decorated her red
boot-shaped slippers practically blurred as her foot moved.
"You’re
wondering how I persuaded Mr Merton to give Mum the evening off,” said
Sebastian. "I just told him Mum had a bad case of strep."
Holly’s
tongue dropped several degrees when the cold air circulated and her mouth
refused to close.
"He
didn’t fire her!" Sebastian said, "He signed her off for a few days.
Unless the medical tests he ordered come back with something properly
infectious," he added thoughtfully. "Then, maybe he’ll have to hire
himself a new housekeeper. Mum might consider the break as a kick in the
career."
Holly
raised an eyebrow high enough to trouble her perfect fringe.
"You
think Mum’s going to wonder who made the Boss think she’s plagued or something?” When
Holly nodded slowly, Sebastian shrugged and rolled out his lower lip. “You were the one who said he'd never realise he loves her until they spend some time apart.”
DO YOU THINK ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS?
