: Re: How do I write an emotional scene? The scene is about one of the protagonist who was until now, more a cold than a warm person. However she's not a sociopath, she just mostly hides her emotions

One possibility is to show the character hiding her emotions in the earlier scenes. So readers know she feels emotions, and has reasons not to show them.

Then when she feels emotions that she cannot hide, the readers will know that her outwardly emotional reaction is a big deal for her.

For additional ideas, listen to the "Showing Emotions" episode of Writing Excuses (season 9).
