Stretching

Consider times you experienced the seven universal emotions. What prompted those feelings? Record the who, what, where, when, and why—as well as the intensity.

Surprise

Fear

Anger

Sadness

Disgust

Happiness

Contempt

Now look at your expanded list of emotions. How does your character express those feelings?

More Stretching
