[…] The wounding experience should be one that stops the protagonist in her tracks, making it impossible for her to achieve that story goal that will result in personal fulfillment. […]

In reply to Tami Cero. Thanks for the kind words, Tami, and for purchasing our books. I hope they turn on a few light bulbs, as they did for us when we were writing them :). And thanks too for your suggestion. This motivation is one that is seen frequently in various kinds of books, so it would probably be a good fit for the character motivation thesaurus. It probably wouldn't cover all the information you've mentioned, since whatever if we include would need to fit into the template we're using. But we will do our best!

I love/purchased all your thesauri and as a relatively new writer, I also rely on them to help me think my way out of a slump, so THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! A humble suggestion for future char motivation – I’m seeing a lot in media (and my community) about caregivers, especially those attempting to cope with a relative who is suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia – struggling with how to educate yourself, how to know you’re a good caregiver, resentment (who’s at fault things are this way?), guilt (why do I struggle and resent?), juggling work, exhaustion (how long can I continue?), children and learning the ropes of this new responsibility. Thanks! Tami

In reply to K-lee Klein.

Aw, K-lee, you are so sweet! I hope we can meet too. Do you ever attend When Words Collide? I go every year. It’s a great event. http://www.whenwordscollide.org/ Also, there’s a group write-in that happens every few months. It’s on today and tomorrow, called Writers In The House. I’ll be there today, in fact: https://www.facebook.com/events/1363527443692544/ You should check it out too as it is a great way to get a bunch of writing done, and socialize a bit too. 🙂

This thesaurus is one of my favourite already. I hope it becomes a real book. I have all your print books, plus some doubles in kindle too ?. I also love that one of you (Angela) lives in my city & hope to meet you in person one day. Keep up the great work and if you ever need someone in Calgary to help in any way, I’m your lady.

Hugs,
K-lee

In reply to Yolanda. Any thesaurus that we have a strong response to we'll either convert into a book, move to One Stop For Writers so users can access it, or both! :) Very glad you're finding this one helpful. :)
