Description
This research project takes a practice-led approach to the study of negative emotions, to address the question of how their representation can feature as a basis of character response and influence in plot development in novels. l discuss irritation, in particular, as an affective mood in creative writing practice. Examination of case studies and my own creative practice will illustrate how writing devices are used to create a novel's overarching mood of irritation. I identify the potential that non-cathartic emotions have to promote plot development through the protracted experience of irritation, thereby leading to new possibilities of character response, and story.
