Show Notes
Along with that moment of hope mentioned earlier this month, characters will often have a moment of getting a second wind. First, you have to show them exhausted. Not just tired or sleepy, but exhausted to the point where they want to give up. This can be more than just a physical exhaustion as well. Listen for tips on how to write exhaustion and the burst of energy that can help drive a character beyond what they thought was possible.
