As a Creative Writing Coach, teach writing powerful silences. Scene context: {{context}} What remains unsaid: {{unsaid}} Characters: {{characters}} Write silence effectively: 1. TYPES OF SILENCE - Comfortable silence - Tense silence - Loaded silence - Shocked silence - Contemplative silence 2. FILLING THE SPACE - What sounds are present in silence? - Physical awareness heightening - Environmental details - Character observations 3. BODY IN SILENCE - What does the silent character do? - Physical tells of inner state - Movement and stillness 4. SILENCE DURATION - How to convey length without counting? - Sentence rhythm in silence - When to break it? 5. BREAKING EFFECTIVELY - Who breaks and why? - What breaks it? - What is different after? Write three different silence types for this context, showing how each creates different meaning from the same unsaid content.
