I've got some exciting news to share today!
From 9 to 13
May, Writers Helping Writers, which was founded by Angela Ackerman and Becca
Puglisi, is celebrating their 10-year anniversary!
And no
anniversary celebration is complete without a… GIVEAWAY!
I've been
following the Writers Helping
Writers blog for some time and they have tons of great and free
resources for writers. You'll find tips and cheat-sheets on world building,
writing, editing, characters arcs, and tons more.
Plus, authors
Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi have published a series of helpful books
about writing under the 'Thesaurus' series. I've read 1.5 of those books J
I've read The
Negative Trait Thesaurus, which is amazing! And I've read most of The
Emotion Thesaurus.
The first is
about attributing character traits to your characters – with examples, while
the second is about showing (not telling) emotions.
But I'm
forgetting the main purpose of this post. It's The Ultimate Writer’s Toolkit
Giveaway!
So here's the deal:
As part of their 10-year anniversary for The Emotion Thesaurus, co-authors Angela and Becca are running a massive giveaway! (And I'm excited to be one of the hosts)
Angela and
Becca have scoured the internet for the best tools to help writers, like YOU,
strengthen their storytelling and give their career a boost. This includes software
licences, subscriptions, course bundles, and even a full set of the Writers
Helping Writers thesaurus guides.
And ONE lucky writer is going to WIN IT ALL!
To enter, head over to this post and enter by 13 May 2022. Good luck!
If you're struggling with how to show your
character’s emotion, you may want to check out Angela and Becca's The Emotion Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to
Character Expression.
The book includes 130
different emotions and gives you lists of ways to describe them
through body language, thoughts, visceral sensations, dialogue cues, and
more. It’s helped me, and maybe it will
help you!
Learn more about The
Emotion Thesaurus by exploring a few sample entries from the book to see what these lists look
like.
Don't forget to enter the giveaway!
