Another common failure is when novels leave the readers cold because the characters failed to convey how they feel. Feelings are universal and the unique we all human beings connect with one another.

A novel is cherished if it is remembered long after the reader has finished reading it. That only happens if you manage to build that connection between your characters and the readers by making them feel the feelings of the characters.

How to engage your readers? This is the most searching question by writers.

You can make this possible by following a brief two-step process.

Firstly, make it necessary to include the feelings of the characters primarily. You need to keep in your literary mind that the characters you have established do possess feelings and you do need to picture them out for the readers. The feelings of the characters in a novel act as legitimate action.

Subsequently, find a way to express the feelings of the characters by displaying their reaction to it. Rather than placing an adjective for the feeling of the character, describe the acts of the character to display what it is feeling.

A more practical approach would be to practice free writing for this purpose. There is nothing strong and genuinely emotion-loaded then you following the path of your memory lane to describe the emotions and situations at their best.
