An emotional thesaurus to help us emotionally detached folks.

[Glisterspeck]

Some of the best feedback on my WIP so far has been to make the emotions more visceral. Of course, I thought I was already doing that, but turns out, I'm a pretty reserved guy, so what seems like a powerful emotional response to me, well, doesn't even register on the emotional Richter scale. Anyway, having this book in electronic form with me everywhere I write has helped. I think.

Looks like a good idea, thanks for sharing.

I hope you're on good commission.

This came up in another thread not too long ago and bought it - haven't read it fully yet, but the sample looked interesting.

I've bought it but to be honest I prefer the shorter version on the Bookshelf Muse. It has the bonus of being free.

I purchased this and find it indispensable.

Well, Amazon seems to Dispense with it quite well.

Good reference guide and handy when the internet connection goes down.
