Encouragement & Thoughts –
I love that Andrew Stanton (of Pixar) talks about telling a story through nonverbal communication. I know IWSG'ers are storytellers and writers and we use mostly written communication, but is there a way for us to share our stories and get our ideas across without actually saying what we are thinking or mean? Beyond, say, having a character "scratch their head in contemplation" or "scream in excitement"? Perhaps we can use specific words to indicate an idea rather than using many words to get the same idea across?
