Struggling with emotional scenes? Here are some tips for writing emotion!

=========

1. While you’re writing, try to build an explanation for their feelings. What triggered their emotion? Is their reaction rational or are they overreacting? Do they fight, flight, fawn or freeze when provoked? Do they feel threatened? 

=========

2. Show, don’t tell. Describe what is happening instead of plainly stating the situation. Try not to use words like sad, happy, devastated, in pain, angry, nervous, scared, or worried. They cut back on the emotional integrity of the scene and make it hard for readers to connect with your characters. Here are some different behaviors for different emotions.

-Eager-

Bouncing up and down

Unable to sit still

Breathing deeply

Fidgeting

Pretending to do something

Trying to stay busy

Constantly looking at the clock

-Nervous-

Red and hot face

Sweaty palms

Voice cracks

Shaky hands

Biting nails

Biting lips/inside of cheek

Wide eyes

Shallow breathing

Heart racing

-Excited-

Wide smile

Squeal/scream

Bouncing up and down

Fidgeting

Playing with hands

Tapping foot

Talking fast

Tapping pencil

Pacing back and forth

-Scared-

Curling up/bringing knees to head

Closing eyes

Covering ears

Stop breathing or breathing quickly

Biting nails

Shaking

Gritting teeth

Hugging/squeezing something tight

-Frustrated-

Stomping

Grunting/mumbling/yelling

Deep breaths

Red and hot face

Hitting/kicking something

Pointing

Straining/veins become more visible

-Sobbing-

-Happy-

-Upset-

Head down/avoiding eye contact

Biting inside of cheek

Dissociation

Keeping quiet

Fidgeting

-Bored-

Pacing back and forth

Sighing loudly

Complaining

Fidgeting

Blank face

Looking for something to do

Making up stories

Talking about random topics

=========

3. Try and bring some trauma into your character’s emotions. For example, something might happen that reminds them of a suppressed/traumatic memory. This is an easy way to hook your reader and have them really feel like your character is a real person with real emotions. They might have some internal conflict they need to work through and a certain situation reminds them of that. They might become irritable at the thought of their traumatic experience and they might snap at whoever is nearby. 

=========

4. Most characters won’t dump their entire backstory or feelings in a conversation. Try and reserve your character’s emotions to make more interesting scenes later on. For example, your character may be triggered and someone may ask them what’s wrong. Will they give in, soften up and share? Or will they cut themself off and say they’re fine? Also take into account that your character might not know the other character very well and won’t be comfortable sharing personal information with them, like details regarding their trauma.

=========

5. Last but not least, you don’t need to have a major event happen to connect emotionally with your audience. You don’t have to kill off a character every time you need to spice up your story, even simple interactions can just help your readers understand your character better. Show how they react to certain topics or situations. Describe their feelings, their surroundings, their body language. Their defense mechanisms will help the audience to better understand what kind of person they are.

=========

anyone else here avoid eye contact like a mf, i swear i be turning into a fucking geico when i do it too. and when people ask me if im ok bc im just standing there staring at the wall behind them looking like a boomer who consumed to much lead paint back in the 40s while their talking, i have to brush it off like “sorry brenda i totally wasnt trying to avoid making eye contact bc it intimidates me and i subconsciously think if i do it i will somehow get scolded for it and i will die of shame and embarrassment…..thats DEFIANTLY not why …..(O_O)”

I don't believe for a second that tiktok being back is a good sign.

Don't forget- starting Tuesday the Trump Administration is going to begin mass deportations in several major cities across the country. My theory is that they are bringing back tiktok as a distraction to take focus away from the raids.

If it does come back, don't let them use it against us. Keep organizing, keep informing, keep building community. It's not Us VS Them, it's Up VS Down. Never forget that.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

Welcome to my blog!!

You can call me BW (bookworm)

I’m currently in the process of trying to plan/write a fic - so if i end up falling through I’ll change my status :D

That’s all!! Thank you!! :D

being politically active when your friends dgaf is not for the weak. my friends were celebrating the tiktok ban while i had to sit there knowing that it's an infringement of the first amendment and a sign of america's crawl into fascism, but you cant just say "yeah clean girl and girl dinner and tiktok ban and nara smith are all signs of fascism" to someone not politically active because they'll write you off as a conspiracy theorist

this is my 12 billionth post today but there is no way in hell this tiktok thing isn’t a ploy to get more people into trump btw. There’s literally no way.
