Tuesday's Writer's Tip Using Mood - Emotional Tone - Janet Lane Walters #MFRWAuthor #BWLPublishing #Mood #Emotional Tone

When you're planning your story we've looked at type of story and the atmosphere of the story. The emotional tone is the next place to consider.There are many emotional tones to choose from but let's look at a few.

Laughter, sadness, fear, mystery, romance, strife and many more. When you start to plan your story you need to consider the overall emotion you want to evoke in your reader. Now you may combine more than one emotion with care. Combining mystery with fear and you can have a tense story that causes the reader to experience both of these. Or combind romance iwth sadness and you have a different kind of story.

So consider these things when writing your story. You may not find them during the rough draft but later when you are revising, finding the enotional tone will make a better story.
