It’s a scientific fact: body language speaks volumes about what’s truly in our hearts and minds. And the same is true of your characters. 

Facial expressions, mannerisms, gestures, eye movements — non-visual cues, no matter how subtle, divulge what a person may be feeling in any given moment. 

It’s one of the best ways to show, don’t tell. 

In today’s episode of Writer unleashed, we’ll explore:

• How we decode non-verbal cues of people we encounter every day
• How to avoid labeling character emotion and reveal what they’re really feeling
• What gestures, eye and body movements, micro expressions  reveal about characters in ways that even they’re  not aware of, but the reader intuits
• How to bring subtlety to the dynamics between characters
• A fun, 2-part exercise to drive it all home
