Chapter 6: Emoticons
The (Not so) Perfect Story
Emoticons. Found in texts, chats, and emails. They should not be found in story writing.
;) D: ;A; TT_TT .__. o___o :3 o3o
What not to do:
Don't write with emoticons. This is not a good way of showing how the character is feeling! It shows the reader that you're unprofessional and can't even describe a characters emotion or facial expression.
Remember:
It would be clearer if you just explain how they look. A simple "Tears were falling" would be enough.
