@millennium-m You can hear it a million and one times… Show, don’t tell. Really, really, really true. When you use actions to describe a character’s emotions, readers can feel connected on a deeper level than just reading ‘he was steaming mad’. Maybe they’ve also been through and done similar things and by reading something that jogs a similar memory of when they felt the same, they really feel the character’s emotions.

This is a picture I’ve actually found very helpful for honing in on more specific emotions, not just sad or mad, but rejected or vindictive.
