Combing through my novel, I realise I need to end this ‘look’ and ‘looked’ obsession. It’s getting out of hand.
I also must ditch the fixation with eyes being the window to the soul when there are so many ways of telling how a character feels or reacts.
Body language for starters - how are their shoulders, stooped, thrown back like it's the 80's and they are wearing shoulder pads, are they moving them around because they're stiff?
