How to personalize a template

A strong jealousy description identifies what the character believes is threatened, what evidence they actually have, and how the feeling affects attention, interpretation, speech, and choices. It does not romanticize surveillance, control, coercion, or aggression as proof of love.

  1. 1
    Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
  2. 2
    Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
  3. 3
    Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
  4. 4
    Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
  5. 5
    Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
