The Emotional Thesaurus is an excellent reference! I use it all the time because I am terrible at thinking these things up when I write my first draft. I use the “ET” to replace the dumb things that I write. Good share!

-Bravo, very well done.

These are great!

Although I wish you had examples in all your posts. It would help to get ideas on how to work these gems into the narrative. :-)

How bout expressions for one who is deep in thought? or for one who just had a light bulb moment?

Oh, the dreaded narrowed eyes. If your characters are going to get whiplash, mine are going to be stuck in a permanent squint. 🙂

I’ve been here before and I think this emotional thesaurus is a great idea.

My characters have a lot of confusion, and my protagonist especially does. So many bitten lips, narrowed eyes, darting glances and — most of all — shaken heads. I’ve got to watch the shaken heads, in fact; at the rate they’re going, they’ll all get whiplash.
