Episode 117 - Dennis Kurlass and Taking the Reader on an Emotional Journey

In this episode, you sit in on a coaching session between Dennis and Jeff. At the time of this recording, Jeff had been coaching Dennis for almost a year. As they looked at a piece together, they talk about slowing down contemplative dialogue, giving the character logical motivations, making prose emotionally meaningful for the reader, having a conversation with an object, and using body language to show emotional shifts in the character.
