Welcome to Litsy!

The Emotion Thesaurus by Angela Ackerman & Becca Puglisi helps with showing not telling emotions. I used it during editing to add more to certain scenes. I‘ve now bought more in the series.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone dipping their fingers into writing. It gives you an emotion and its definition. Then it lists physical signs, internal sensations, mental responses, and cues of long term experience or suppression of that emotion. There are also some cross references to other emotions. Each entry also has a random writer's tip. This book is one of the best gifts my sister ever gave me. I love it.

My sister is so amazing. She sent me this gift for the holidays. I will treasure it and find it so useful! #amwriting

This is an essential resource when I'm writing. I always have it next to me now.

Got my hands on these beauties! 😍

I love thesauruses! I even have my old Roget's Thesaurus from college. When I write I keep The Emotion Thesaurus handy for ideas to show, not tell, a character's emotions. It's an invaluable tool for writers. When I saw that the authors had published ones on positive and negative traits, rural and urban settings, there was no question about whether to order. Can't wait to browse through these. Sign of a true geek. 👓
