And in case you hadn’t heard…
The Emotion Thesaurus has a companion guide:
The Emotion Amplifier Thesaurus
The Emotion Amplifier Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Character Stress and Volatility is exactly what you need to draw readers even deeper into your character’s perspective…and inner conflict. Not only does this guide show you how to bring a character’s hidden emotions to the surface, it also teaches you to ‘amplify’ their reactions so poor judgment, bad decisions, and mistakes follow.
Pain, Pressure, Competition, Scrutiny, Hunger… States and conditions like these make things even harder for your character to handle and easier for their emotions to spill over. Hello, conflict!
Set up like The Emotion Thesaurus, this guide shows you how to describe your character’s body language, internal sensations, thoughts, vocal cues, and more for 50 unique states and conditions. You’ll also learn how to make emotional moments more meaningful and use your character’s internal strain to build reader empathy and investment.
