WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a scene where a character is experiencing either elation or relief.
Try to describe not just happiness and comfort, but the full potency of elation or relief. How do people realistically act when they are experiencing these emotions?
Relief
She had been holding her breath for so long, and she hadn’t even realized it. Yet when she saw those words, on that screen, it was like her being inflated, became calm and elated all at once. “Of course, I knew this would happen; I wasn’t actually that worried,” she thought, a grin growing on her face. But in actuality there was a great weight lifted - she felt lighter, like she was full of an odd burst of energy. She was pure purpose. Nothing could harm her right now - it was done.
