In reply to MINDY ALYSE WEISS. Thanks, Mindy! I love showing how feeling conflict through what a person says and does, or how their body reacts and cancels out what they are trying to pretend to feel. This is something we do in the real world and it's great in fiction. :)

In reply to Kay DiBianca. Glad you like those tip sheets! Sometimes all we need is a brainstorming nudge and suddenly boom, we're able to really improve a scene. :)

Thanks, Angela. I’m dealing with a character right now who is resisting her attraction to someone she has to work with. Your post is very helpful. And the tip sheets! They are a gold mine. Thank you.

Thanks, Angela. This post is like taking a master class! I especially love this: People can try to lie to themselves about what they feel but in some way their body will always reveal the truth through uncontrolled responses (taking a step toward another, reaching out for them, getting flustered when speaking, etc.).

I need to put that up on a Post It note near my laptop.
