How do you put so much emotion into your characters? I could almost cut through Nate and Echo's emotional moments with a knife.

Hi Cheyenne,
I like to use visceral emotion when I write. Instead of Echo saying, "I'm attracted to Noah and I really like him," I write her body's reaction. How does her heart feel, her chest, her head?
Writing with visceral emotion helps draw the reader into what the character is experiencing.
I hope this helps!
