That is something I struggle with at times...those darn physical responses :) In fact, in my first drafts, they are often missing entirely, on purpose. When I go through the second time, I take my boring "She was scared" sentences and flesh them out. It's those responses that really make the reader see and feel what the character is going through.

He sagged against the black iron railing. Below him, fresh green grass and yellow flowers taunted him with their exuberance. How could anything be normal or joyful again?></i><br /><br />I love this!
