Hi BC,

I thought it might be part of the Emotion thesaurus tutorial but it isn’t – I’ve made a note to myself to add this to that tutorial in the future, and create a Tip Sheet for it. I’m glad you asked so I can correct this when I have a bit of free time. 🙂

Each time I read one of your blogs, it’s like you’re inside my head! I was just whining about this to my editor yesterday: “…a character feels vulnerable and so tries to hide their emotions as a result. Fear of emotional pain, a lack of trust in others…” Am struggling with this in a scene in the first 10% with the first meaningful interaction between hero and heroine. SO hard to do without being a tad telly. Thank you for this timely (to me) snippet of advice.
