Angela and Becca at The Bookshelf Muse have released their Emotion Thesaurus book into the wild, and to celebrate being part of the best Community in the WORLD, they've staged a massive RAOK Blitz.
Writers of all genres are blitzing critique partners, writing friends, blog supporters and other kindred writing spirits with a Random Act of Kindness. Now, some of the Industry's finest are joining in, showing their appreciation for writers, too!
All this week at The Bookshelf Muse, you can enter to win incredible RAOK offerings, like Scrivener Writing Software, a Writer's Digest Tutorial with Agent Irene Goodman, Premium memberships to sites like Query Tracker, The Critique Circle and Auto Crit, and a $500 Ultimate Writing Course from Best-Selling Fantasy Author Tracy Hickman!
Has your jaw dropped yet?
Stop by The Bookshelf Muse, and enter to win! And while you're there, snag a FREE PDF copy of Emotion Amplifiers, a RAOK gift from Becca and Angela. This companion to the Emotion Thesaurus has 15 entries on conditions that will alter a character's physical and mental state such as Pain, Hunger, Thirst, Illness, Exhaustion, Inebriation, and more. Stressing out your characters by using one of these Amplifiers means one beautiful thing: TENSION.
Like The ET, each entry lists possible body language, thoughts, visceral sensations and actions to help you show rather than tell what your character is experiencing. These amplifiers can wear a person down, or build them up. Either way, they push your character to react, making emotional scenes more intense!
Feel like spreading a bit of kindness too? Send one of your supporters a thank you email or give them a blog shout out. RT them on Twitter, or post a virtual hug on their Facebook! The very best part of Kindness is that it is contagious! :)
