About this product
Product Information
One of the biggest problem areas for writers is conveying a character's emotions to the reader in a unique, compelling way. This book comes to the rescue by highlighting 75 emotions and listing the possible body language cues, thoughts, and visceral responses for each. Using its easy-to-navigate list format, readers can draw inspiration from character cues that range in intensity to match any emotional moment. The Emotion Thesaurus also tackles common emotion-related writing problems and provides methods to overcome them. This writing tool encourages writers to show, not tell emotion and is a creative brainstorming resource for any fiction project.Product Identifiers

Essential for writers
I write poetry, prose, and songs. I find myself reaching for this in the first draft stage and all through the polishing phases. It is also useful as an idea starter. Just open anywhere and start readingVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Helps portray fictional character's emotions as revealed through body language.
While I marked that the content is not compelling, as a reference for writing fiction, it will help writers create more "compelling" characters.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
