Character Emotions
Posted By Paula on April 12, 2010
A quick post just to share an amazing resource I recently discovered: THE EMOTION THESAURUS. I found this little gem in a post on one of my favorite blogs, http://www.guidetoliteraryagents.com/blog/ . THE EMOTION THESAURUS is mentioned in a different post about getting inside your characters, i.e., letting readers feel the characters’ emotions, also a great post. Here’s the link: http://thebookshelfmuse.blogspot.com/2008/01/introducing-thesaurus-thursdays.html .
Sixteen-year-old Becky Walden has two big dreams: to become an all-state basketball player and to find a special boy to love. When she moves from St. Louis to a small town in southwestern Missouri, she meets Matt McRae. He shares her love of basketball and he comes to love her, but he is unwilling to fight the system of small town politics that has reached into the high school and tainted their sport. Becky learns that love doesn't always mean happiness; sometimes it can really hurt.
