October Novel Prep Challenge

Hallöchen!

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.
