Feelings in Your Stories/Entries
Well-written stories and Notebook Entries will include feelings. As an author, it is your job to write so your audience will experience the feelings you want them to connect to as a result of reading your piece!
Feelings come in many different flavors. Each flavor has a unique taste. The more precise you are in deciding which flavor you are writing to attain, the better chance you have of helping your audience taste that flavor.
