I'm trying to figure out if it's best to put
actions within "action" in CAPS. Here's a quick example:
Duke WAVES to Lassie as he drives off.
ANSWER
Don't place actions in CAPS. All-CAPS are
hard to read and the reader might think you are trying to indicate a sound.
Since the primary purpose of narrative description is to describe action, you do not need
any emphasis. I like the fact that your example focuses on a verb. If you use specific,
concrete action verbs in your description, you'll get the reader's attention.
