The bestselling Emotion Thesaurus, often hailed as “the gold standard for writers” and credited with transforming how writers craft emotion, has now been expanded to include 55 new entries!
One of the biggest struggles for writers is how to convey emotion to readers in a unique and compelling way. When showing our characters’ feelings, we often use the first idea that comes to mind, and they end up smiling, nodding, and frowning too much.
If you need inspiration for creating characters’ emotional responses that are personalized and evocative, this ultimate show-don’t-tell guide for emotion can help. It includes:
- Body language cues, thoughts, and visceral responses for 130 emotions that cover a range of intensity from mild to severe, providing innumerable options for individualizing a character’s reactions
- A breakdown of the biggest emotion-related writing problems and how to overcome them
- Advice on what should be done beforedrafting to make sure your characters’ emotions will be realistic and consistent
- Instruction for how to show hidden feelings and emotional subtext through dialogue and nonverbal cues
- And much more!
The Emotion Thesaurus, in its easy-to-navigate list format, will inspire you to create stronger, fresher character expressions and engage readers from your first page to your last.
Your Readers Will Thank You Without some sort of emotional impact, a story will fall flat. Readers connect with stories through their emotions, so it's vital that we take the time to show how x, y, z affects the characters. I loved the first volume of Emotion Thesaurus, but I have to say, this book is even better. It's a must for every writer's toolbox. Whether you're just beginning your writing journey or penning your fortieth novel, I guarantee the Emotion Thesaurus Vol. II will spark new ways to convey emotion. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Your readers will thank you for it. :-)Must Have If You're an Emotional Slug Like Me This is a must have addition for any writer who has a difficult time expressing emotions on the page. As an old man, brought up not to show emotions on your sleeve, much less in writing, it's difficult for me to find the right words to show emotion. My novel's characters are World War 2 military. In order to show their emotions beyond anger and surprise, this book has been invaluable. Anger is more than my common descriptions of flaring nostrils and pounding heartbeat. Now, my characters have may have a noticeable engorged vein when they step into another person's space. Or they may speak in an low even tone through clenched teeth.Must have book, as well as the rest in the series, if you want to make the emotional state of characters connect with readers.Still the Best Writing Resource and the Second Edition Is Worth It! Like many writers, I have the original ET. This book has been my #1 Go-To Writing Help book ever since the first version released.Learning how to show emotions was one of the last big skills I struggled with before my writing was publishable, and years ago, Angela and Becca's insights were the key to helping me past that hump in my learning curve. I'm thrilled they've taken the time to add their latest knowledge to a second edition of this book, bringing it up to the level of advice and quality content of their later books. I hope this new version helps others as much as the first version helped me.But this Second Edition prompts the question: If I have the first edition already, do I need the second edition?Well, the original edition was 168 pages and the second edition is 296 pages (PDF format) -- almost double -- so obviously, there's a lot of new information. But let's talk details. :)If you already have the first edition, here are the main improvements:* 55 New Entries* Expanded Details for ALL 130 Entries (adding "may de-escalate to" insights and "associated power verbs" for every entry)* 4 New Advice Sections (character research, emotion in dialogue, emotion and subtext, and brainstorming for emotion)(The post I did on my blog last month has more specifics if you want it. Search on my name and "second edition.")
