Episode notes
Use Physical Biofeedback To Trigger Emotion
- Make the face or physical posture of the emotion before you write to trigger biofeedback and authentic reactions.
- Use small physical actions like scowling or smiling first to produce anger or happiness on the page.
Recall Analogous Real Experiences
- Recall an analogous real-life emotional moment and translate its physical sensations into your character's reactions.
- Focus on physical reactions rather than naming the emotion to convey it authentically to readers.
Use Soundtracks To Invoke Mood
- Use music or a soundtrack cue to summon the desired emotional tone before writing a scene.
- Choose recent or strongly-associated scores so the music triggers the feeling rather than neutral background noise.
