As writers, we all have our favorite writing
methods. For instance, some swear by Scrivener, while others write in Word or
Google docs. Some prefer to draft longhand, using colorful gel pens and
notebooks.
Most of
us have a favorite writing book (or ten), too. These books have helped us
understand storytelling better, demystifying certain aspects of writing. Well,
today I'm taking part in welcoming a new writing guide into the world: The Emotion Thesaurus (Second Edition).
You may
have heard of The Emotion Thesaurus before, or even have a copy. The
original's lists of body language, thoughts, and visceral sensations for 75
unique emotions made brainstorming character expressions and reactions so much
easier. It quickly became a bestseller.
Now,
there's a bigger, better second edition. Angela and Becca have added 55 NEW emotions such as Euphoria, Vindicated, and Schadenfreude. (And
that's not all that's new, either...the book is almost twice the size as the
original.)
Anyway,
if you're interested in checking it out, you can read some of the reviews on Goodreads or find information here.
One more thing to tell you about...are you ready
for this?
