THE EMOTION THESAURUS

Another book in my collection. By Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi, this is so useful when building a character and showing their feelings rather than relying on to much dialogue. There has to be an even balance between dialogue and description and this book shows you how. I recommend it.

Care of Amazon.
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.
