This companion to The Emotion Thesaurus contains states of being that are often confused with emotions. Amplifiers (stress, addiction, pain, and attraction, to name a few) make a character more emotionally volatile and prone to bad decisions and mistakes. This thesaurus explores the psychological processes that accompany amplifiers and how to write their influence on a character’s actions, choices, and decisions. Find the perfect amplifier to add pressure, raise stakes, and accelerate character change.
