How can you show us rather than explain what you or your character is feeling?

Don’t forget. It will help you if you know your own book inside and out. So take the time and do it. Why not, eh?

1. Use body language to add depth to dialogue - because notice what happens in conversations you have with friends versus strangers, people in charge versus applicants, and how what we do with our hands, eyes etc all has an impact. 2. Use it because more than 50% of human communication is non-verbal. We use gestures, movements, habits without thinking about it. So watch and take note. 3. Use it to show how your character’s reactions come from emotions. 4. Use it to help you show us your character's unique take on the world, don't 'tell' your reader everything. 5. Use it in moderation. If overused, it can slow your story down. If not used enough, we have talking heads.

Hello @Chenzo WEb - thanks for checking us out. It was good to chat on the phone today about all we're doing here. I hope it helps you. You can drop in and out as much as you like in this chat. Email me when you're ready for more ideas. Thanks for joining,

I mostly just want to work one on one. I have those 500 pages and have been revising quite a bit, starting at the beginning and could send you a couple of chapters soon.
