Good morning everyone it is time to get emotional with our writing prompts. As always think about the emotion of the day and how it is shone. Because as we all know by this point in the year, the one rule to writing these emotional writing exercise is to not name the emotion in the writing. We want our readers to see the emotional state of the person. I know if we tell a reader that someone is scared or happy they can see scared or happy, but often emotional words can be crutches that let us tell instead of show. And this exercise is all about showing. So read the emption, think about it, maybe even look up the dictionaries official definition to spark a thought about how to show the emption and then show the emotion. It can be a scene, a conversation, however you want to write it really. Just work on showing and not telling.
