The book itself only has 8 mistakes apparently in 326 pages…

P.S. thanks for writing Good Omens because without it I’d have never met my Fiancé! The Crowley to my Aziraphale…Congrats on season 3!!

* LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, THESE CAN VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR CHARACTER’S PERSONALITY TRAITS AND THEIR MANNERISMS

Quiet, simmering anger:

Sometimes, writers will repeat the same things in different words when it comes to this. It can be a hard thing to write, but practice definitely helps you master it! The character should be trying to hold back, or they’re too used to keeping their calm. Think of this of what happens before their breaking point. You can portray this best with:

- passive aggressive comments

- clenched jaw, tense

- narrowed, heavier eyes

- lips pressed together

- brows furrowing

- death stares

- biting the inside of their cheek

Unfiltered, violent Rage:

THIS. This is my favourite. Now, this one is usually used in moments rather than all the time. It’s very raw and more physical, and characters are spilling every emotion all at once. This shouldn’t look pretty, it should look real.

- Incoherent yelling

- hands bunched up in hair

- screaming

- violent sobs and hiccups

- tears getting smeared all over their face (great opportunity to include sensory description like salty taste, itchy skin..)

- scratching or nails digging into skin

- head leaning against wall

- stumbling mindlessly

Fed-up Anger:

Usually used for characters who have been too kind for their own good, or just tolerated it and are done. For fed-up anger, you start out exhausted then gradually escalate it into something more intense.

- not yelling, just firm and exhausted.

- exaggerated hand gestures, like they’re helplessly trying to explain

- slow tears, streaming down endlessly even if they’re holding them in

- head in their hands

- when they reach a point where they’re VERY mad, they could stomp their foot down or eyes widen with white hot anger

- hands fisted into balls at their side

- pausing to calm themselves

Thanks for reading <3 and remember, you’re not a bad writer if you can’t portray emotion well yet. It takes time, and even I’m still learning:)

Quick tips 4 writing in general: be raw and real, not sanitized.

Hi guys! Um, im super nervous to post this because I’ve been thinking about writing something like this for like 2 months now, and I had sm fun creating the characters and stuff! Currently writing chapter 1 and 2, and uh, yeah! This may become a series (if I even finish the 1st one) and uh, yay?
