Following the Course Structure, introspection or inner dialogue is the next topic to explore. Introspection, simply stated, is what your character thinks about.
Your character can reveal a lot about their personality, intelligence, background, and dreams...by merely thinking about it. Granted, action is far more powerful, but sometimes it is necessary to set the scene by having your character think about the conflict and situation that they must confront.
Character's have feelings and thoughts which can be shown to your reader. This can be a powerful tool to develop your character more thoroughly. People often say one thing, think another, and do something completely different. Your character can too!
How do you write this? (Technically, with thought tags and italicized words.)
