Hey guys!
As I was browsing the internetz I found this awesome site with ideas for a character's mannerisms and other things to signal a person's emotions etc.
Anyways, I found it really useful for more detailed writing, so I thought I'd share it with ya all.

If you have other sites that could help with that sort of stuff, it would be very much appreciated, too.
Thanks in advance. =D

The site
That's quite a list of mannerisms!

What I like to do with my characters is to let them have a 'signature' gesture. Such as one-shouldered shrug, a drawn out eyebrow raise which gets repeated more often than most mannerisms (But not every post)
Thank you so much for this! It's very detailed and helpful. :)

I made this thread a short while ago about character quirks, and Libertine's thread right here is a great resource. Also, Springhole.net is incredibly useful, if you'd like to check that out as well. :)

Cheers!

Well, if you are willing to dish out a few dollars I would suggest "The Emotion Thesaurus" and "Master Lists for Writers".
