  Friends. Writing is difficult. Especially emotions, which are pivotal in crafting realistic characters. At first, we write super interesting actions for our cast. But then, we slip into easy repetition. He gave a look. She nodded. They shrugged. Or unforgivable redundancies like ‘he glared at her angrily’. *shudders* The worst part is that we don’t…
