Wednesday WordPlay: Emotions

Today's challenge: Write based on emotions.

Thinking about how your character experiences different emotions is very useful for fiction writers. Pick an emotion from the list below (or another of your choosing!) and write from your character's perspective as if s/he feels that way.

If you prefer, you could use this as a journaling prompt, and write a brief reflection about a time you personally experienced this emotion.

You could also choose to create a poem that conveys this emotion.

Here are some emotions to work with:

ANGUISH

JOY

HEARTBREAK

SHOCK

FRUSTRATION

PLEASURE

CURIOSITY

DISBELIEF



If you're up for an extra special challenge, now try writing a scene (or poem) in which the main character (or the speaker, in a poem) transitions from:

BOREDOM to CONFUSION

HAPPINESS to DISTRESS

ANGER to CALM
