Ever read a book where you are just as torn apart as the character? Yeah. That’s what angst is.
In “The Secret Slipper,” the biggest lesson I learned was about upping the stakes—intensifying the angst. I want my readers to feel it with my characters. But I usually fall flat in my first attempt (courtesy of my personal lack of emotion) and have to edit to add it. For me, it’s an ever-learning process of upping angst.
Join me today over at Faith's blog for my thoughts on adding angst to your story.
