✦ SHOW DON'T TELL — AN EMOTIONS REFERENCE FOR FICTION WRITERS ✦

You know the rule. You've heard it a hundred times: show, don't tell.

But what does it actually look like on the page? When your character is afraid —
what does their body do? How does their voice change? What do they think about?
What do they stop thinking about?

The Show Don't Tell Dictionary answers these questions for 22 emotions across 4
groups — while you write. Look up the emotion. Find seven dimensions of how to
render it on the page. Go back to your manuscript with exactly what you need.
No vague advice, no general principles — just the physical, behavioral, and
psychological cues that turn a named emotion into a felt experience for your
reader.
