Emotion Amplifiers

A nice reference guide for emotion amplifiers.


Another Body Language Cheat Sheet

We are always told to use body language in our writing. Sometimes, it’s easier said than written. I decided to create these cheat sheets to help you show a character’s state of mind.

More body language!


Simple Collisions without Dynamics
