Short and sharp and worth bookmarking for several views.

Fascinating. And so simply put. It really makes you look at using body language deliberately as a writer, and target the movements for a scene. I like what he says about evidence at the end.

A while ago, I read a book about body language. (Left of Bang - It's written by two special forces guys and is all about profiling and reading body language to stay safe. If I remember right they also touch on spotting the offenders during unfolding events) and it shows how little control we humans have over how we come across, and that trying to control our behaviour, shows something.

Interesting stuff.

Thanks @Bridges

Bob's done others. Must scavenge and see else to fetch over for our writerly tool boxes....

And Bob doesn't give himself away by using body language himself- useful to remember to all those of us creators of detectives.
