Writing with Emotion Worksheet

Self-Paced Prompts & Practice Activities

Build emotional depth in your writing at your own pace. This worksheet is designed to help you explore, understand, and practice writing emotion more effectively through a series of guided prompts and exercises.

Whether you’re working on fiction, creative nonfiction, or journaling, these activities give you space to develop your voice, experiment with emotional tone, and push beyond surface-level feelings.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Thought-starters to help you tap into emotional memory

• Practice scenes and mini writing challenges

• Techniques to show (not just tell) emotions through action, dialogue, and inner thought

• Short, repeatable prompts you can come back to any time

These exercises are designed for flexible, self-paced practice — perfect for solo writers, students, or anyone wanting to build stronger emotional range in their writing. Use them to warm up, break through blocks, or deepen your current project.

No deadlines. No pressure. Just tools to help you practice writing with feeling.

*Best if studied alongside the Writing with Emotion module, but still a rich and useful tool on its own.
