Good morning everyone it is time once again to get emotional! Or to work on showing instead of telling. With these exercises the point is very simple. You get to describe a character that has the emotion or is watching someone display the day’s emotion without actually using the word labeling that emotion. And so…
Today’s Emotion: Grateful
Think of facial expressions and the look in someone’s eyes. Think about their body movements and positioning. Put them in an activity that shows they are grateful. Just don’t use the word grateful as you go. This isn’t a timed exercise, but if you find that a timer helps you, go for it. If using a time I would suggest taking a minute or so first and jot down a few ideas in a list before jumping into the timed portion. But that is just me. Whatever you do, happy writing.
