What are effective ways to convey emotion through text?

Asked by okc405 (240points) | asked March 25th, 2008 | 6 responses | “Great Question” (0points) | Flag as…

I’ve never been good at writing effectively, I always miss points and leave climaxes in my writing dead ended. When I’m on fluther I just type as if i was speaking to someone but I feel there has to be a better ways to convey emotion through my writing… Like now i feel that there is more I can write to shapen the ends of my sentences but im stuck.

“bitches love smiley faces” just use a bunch of smileys.

no im kidding.you can use adjectives to describe the way it feels, like the emotion. as if it were like “warm love” or something.

yeah it sort of does but you could try using different things and have friends read them to see which way conveys emotions best, even internet friends could help…

but what does apple pie mean to you? for me, whenever i eat apple pie, i think of warm, nurturing companionshp. so, i can make a chain with warm love—>apple pie—>nurturing, companionship
