Anyway, this chart is just one of two like it and it has saved me many times as I've described a variety of emotions and body language. I hope you will find them as useful
I wish you happy word counts.
Today, as I happily added to my NaNoWriMo word count, I caught myself typing 'Her expression was confused'. Yeah - cue the groaning. I know better. That's telling, not showing, and something to be avoided at all costs. So I stopped and dug out this trusty little chart I found on Reference For Writers (thank you again, Pinterest) The chart originally came, I believe, from Writers Write website. If you haven't visited those two sites, I can highly recommend it. I'll leave links at the end of this post.
