Bold
There are certain sentences that will hit better if you bold certain words in those sentences.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn’t drink your juice.
Gives a completely different meaning from:
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn’t drink your juice.
Sarcasm
There are certain sentences that will add some humor for your audience just by adding quotations.
Ya. Right. Because the doctor said so.
Is a little less fun than:
Ya. Right. Because the “doctor” said so.
exageration
Depending on the type of audience you have, using exaggeration can really give your conversations more personality.
Um, excuse me?
Has less personality than:
Um, excuuuse me?!
Or even:
Um, excuuuuuuse me?! ðŸ˜
repeating
It can often be beneficial to repeat a word, or even several words, to impart a certain mood into a sentence.
You can do it by repeating one word:
There there.
Now now.
Or by repeating multiple:
I said what I meant, and I meant what I said.
Pausing
Not enough people use ellipses (…), but pausing for effect can be a very good way to create drama in your writing.
I… I can’t believe you did that.
Has more drama and emotion than:
I can’t believe you did that.
shortening
As most writers already know, it’s really important to use short sentences to give your readers a better reading experience, but short sentences can also be used to give your voice a commanding presence.
We have to save the cheerleader in order to save the world.
Is less commanding than:
Save the cheerleader. Save the world.
