A month-long novel-planning challenge with prizes galore. |
Hallƶchen! Here some more Resource that might be useful! How about Becca Puglisi & Angela Ackerman's THESAURUS-Series? Volume 1: The EMOTION Thesaurus Volume 2: The NEGATIVE TRAIT Thesaurus Volume 3: The POSITIVE TRAIT Thesaurus Volume 4: The RURAL SETTING Thesaurus Volume 5: The URBAN SETTING Thesaurus Volume 6: The EMOTIONAL WOUND Thesaurus Volume 7: The OCCUPATION Thesaurus Volume 8: The CONFLICT Thesaurus (Part 1) Volume 9: The CONFLICT Thesaurus (Part 2) Kindle: EMOTION AMPLIFIERS It's structured like: 1. The Situation, e.g. Getting caught a Lie 2. Examples (Why?) 3. Minor Complications (e. g. white lie to deescalate a situation) 4. Potentially Disastrous Results (e.g. damaged reputation, damaged relationship) 5. Resulting Emotions 6. Possible Internal Struggles (like feeling guilty, doubting oneself, etc.) 7. Negative Traits which may worsen the Situation 8. Impact on Basic Needs (e.g. Love, Belonging, Esteem, etc.) 9. Positive Traits helping the Character cope 10. Positive Outcome? (e.g. uncovering it bringing injustice to light, recognizing how important it is to tell the truth, etc.) I only have Volume 8 and EMOTION AMPLIFIERS this far. The example is from Volume 8, but the whole book is structured like this... ...and since my NaNo-Story this year's partly a Detective story, I deduce that the others might be structured the same / similarly. I find the presentation - so structured, I'm in awe - appealing and easy to use, but also quite comprehensive. Some of the other volumes - surely the emotion-based - will follow to my library. Happy Browsing! So gotta go back to my MC Assignment. |
