Writers! You’ll want to check out this writer’s thesaurus
I love Angela and Becca’s thesauruses for writers; I think they can help writers get unstuck, so I am thrilled I can finally announce that The Emotion Thesaurus Second Edition is coming! It releases February 19th and this new, expanded edition has 55 new entries!
If you’re a writer like me you probably know (and may use) the original Emotion Thesaurus. I do. It’s a great refresher on emotion, and a great jumping off point into writing emotion deeper.
Check out my post below for more details (especially about the pre- order bonus and free surprise!). #emotionthesaurus
Writers! You’ll want to check out this writer’s thesaurus
I love Angela and Becca’s thesauruses for writers; I think they can help writers get unstuck, so I am thrilled I can finally announce that The Emotion Thesaurus Second Edition is coming! It releases February 19th.
If you’re a writer like me you probably know (and may use) the original Emotion Thesaurus. I do. It’s a great refresher on emotion, and a great jumping off point into writing emotion deeper. It released in 2012 and became a must-have resource for many because it contained lists of body language, thoughts, and visceral sensations for 75 emotions, helping make showing character emotion on the page much easier.
So many people asked Angela and Becca to add more emotions over the years that they decided to create a second, expanded edition. It contains 55 NEW entries, with a total of 130 emotions.
This book is almost DOUBLE IN SIZE and there’s a lot more new content, so I recommend checking it out. And you can. Right now. (grinning)
Preorder Alert!
This book is available for preorder, so you can find all the details about this new book’s contents by visiting Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Kobo, iBooks, and IndieBound, or swinging by Writers Helping Writers. You can view the full list of emotions included in this new edition, too.
One last thing…Angela & Becca have a special gift for writers HERE. If you like free writing technique help, stop by and check it out. (It’s only available for a limited time!)

Petal and I were going to go on the Women’s March today
but I think it’s just too cold, especially for standing around listening to speeches and then marching. They’re calling for a snowstorm and -19 weather, and when I took Petal out I felt the cold through my jeans even though I’m wearing long underwear underneath (and so is Petal) . Also Petal has a urinary tract infection which were treating but we’ve both been up a lot of the night, second night in a row.
I am sorry to miss it but I am there in spirit. My sign was going to say: “As a lesbian feminist survivor of incest, rape, and torture I march for an end to violence against women and children, especially, and equality (and compassion) for all.

I gave Petal a bath, so she gave me one.
(laughing) She is the sweetest girl!

If you are a teen boy, work with boys, or have a son, I hope you’ll read this important, powerful, and eye-opening article
by Laurie Halse Anderson (YA author of SPEAK) about boys and consent, and then have some open, honest discussions. If we want a world with less sexual violence, we need to have these conversations and help boys understand how important consent is.
You can read the article here.
