Now, of course, no emotion is ever truly unique, and many people will react to the same situation similarly. John breaking up with Sarah is the external reason why she’s crying, but her thoughts show her internal reasons, or what that external reason means to her. Instead of thinking of “show, don’t tell” in the classic way-show us her tears instead of telling us she’s crying-try showing us why a character is experiencing that emotion instead of just telling us the result.Īnd this “why” should be an internal reason.
