The Emotion Thesaurus, First Edition (for collectors) One of the biggest problem areas for writers is conveying emotion to the reader in a unique, compelling way. When showing our characters’ feelings, we often grab onto the first idea that comes to mind, and our characters end up smiling, shrugging, nodding, and frowning far too much. Need some inspiration to get you beyond the basics?

This is a reference book, for the times you need to look up--not synonyms but descriptions, ways you can write to show your character's emotions. Pretty fancy, huh.

Each entry (emotion) has several descriptions that are divided into Physical Signals, Internal Sensations, Mental Responses, Cues of Acute (Insert Emotion Here) and Cues of Suppressed (Insert Emotion Here). If you are: an observant person and/or reader (and have been reading for pleasure since you were a child), have taken a beginner's literature or an English class as a freshman in university, or even a Cross-Cultural communications class, you won't learn anything new from this.

Kind of person, a 'but I don't understand that example, EXPLAIN THIS SHOW AND TELL THING TO ME.'

The concepts are laid out with examples and are written in a very simple way that even the youngest writers can understand.

I don't see myself using this now and I didn't learn anything new from it, nothing that hadn't already been observed from years of reading and further explained in Introductory English and Literature classes in university.
