    I found a pretty cool resource for describing emotions. Old, but new to me

    This site describes various types of body language that convey emotions. Personally, "show don't tell" is one of the hardest parts of writing for me, and I could use the help. There is a ton of useful, free information here. Check out the emotion amplifiers pdf! Here is the link:

    And if anyone else has similar links, I would appreciate your help if you shared them with me.

    I hadn't thought about that before, but it makes sense.

    I wish this article was more extensive though.

    That being said, if one were to expand on this other tell-tale signs of a person's disposition could be their cleanliness/hygiene overall, how well-tailored they are, etc...

    Eyes are an obvious one, for describing emotion, but often over-used. Of course, how tense a person is, can be useful....

    Anyway, rambling now.

    Thanks, very helpful link. Sometimes you envision the words but they just won't come.
