How clever. I list descriptors by category on my blog, but you’ve taken this to a whole new level. I may borrow the idea.

This is a very interesting concept - to group a subject of words into one framework. This is extremely helpful for writers. It is true that regular thesaurus' don't really do the job.
The thesaurus posts on your blog seems akin to the Thinker's Thesaurus, a kind of intuitive and close to reality thesaurus. Sometimes it's just fun to read even when not looking for words.

Thanks for this! These entries are brilliant, and some really help my writing! I’m writing a fantasy with lots of war and battle, and this is really useful! Thanks again!

How do you do it, Angela? I write contemporary fiction but reading through this list was practically a novel itself (and lots of fun)–I could hear the “crackle of flame” and smell the “gunpowder”!
