Cheat Sheets for Writing Body Language
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. Obviously, a character may exhibit a number of these behaviours. For example, he may be shocked and angry, or shocked and happy. Use these combinations as needed.

Winter Soldier’s Gunnin’ You Down (To the tune of Santa Claus is Coming to Town)
You better watch out, you better not cry
You’ll probably bleed out, I’m tellin’ you why
Winter Soldier’s gunnin’ you down
He’s got a hit list, he’s starting a fight
He’s clenching his fist, it’s shiny and bright
Winter Soldier’s gunnin’ you down!
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
His aim is really fucking good and he’s gonna assassinate
You better watch out, you better not cry
You’ll probably bleed out, I’m tellin’ you why
Winter Soldier’s gunnin’ you down
He’s yanking out wheels and firing guns
If you were smart you’d probably run
Winter Soldier’s gunning you down!
Winter Soldier’s gunning you down!
I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like a child stringing beads in kindergarten — happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another.
