Hello again!
I saw below that someone had asked about overdoing showing facial and/or body expressions. This got me thinking, because in my novel, I don't necessarily show or say what the character is feeling. I never out right say, 'he looked happy', instead, I say things like 'he was smiling, a small spring in his step'. But most of the time it's a lot more subtle than that.
The reason I do this is because I find books that show everything about how a character is feeling a little boring. Other books, which describe what the character is doing instead, I like a lot better. You have to put together what you know about the character together with his/her actions to know what they're feeling.
Is this a good thing? Do you feel the same about this? Or do you find it too much like hard work?
Needing a little guidance,
Cosby
