I've read stuff like these: - she sat up. Startled. - His face flushed (how does that happen in real life) - He felt his neck muscles tense up, his temples started bulging, he started breathing more heavily as he heard his subordinate's report - Suddenly she felt hollow inside You get the idea. There are a many descriptions of characters having some kind of physical indication about their reactions. This is especially true in the writing of Sydney Sheldon, Dan Brown, Dean Koontz and several popular authors. What other ways are there to bring out character reactions, instead of adding dramatizing effects to emotions? Also, is there any way which is recommended in terms of making it more realistic?
