So, I should put a big picture of a Mayan temple above my computer? 🙂 Great list, thanks.

I just found your blog and I love it! Emotions and color symbolism are both a huge part of my wip and your thesauruses will help me immensely. I want to print out every page so I can reference them when I’m writing without an internet connection. Thank you!

Bish--that's a great one. Actually, the Bible would be too.

K.Hinny, thanks for stopping in!

Hi Stina, I think often our symbolism comes up naturally and we don't realize it until we finish the novel. But I think we can always beef description up and make it even more meaningful, so hopefully this helps!

Shannon, my brain is a scary place. You don't even want to know half of what goes on in there.

Danyelle, mucho thanks!

Kirsten, YAY! So glad this helps!!

Elana, thanks!

Mary, I knew you'd approve!

I REALLY like the idea of a classroom of students, quietly absorbing knowledge…

This one really helps me because I have so much trouble getting creative with symbolism. I’m on my final rewrite with my novel & am trying to weave in some more symbols now that I know the direction everyone takes. Thanks for this!

I love your lists! And great point on choosing to use a strong or more subtle symbol. 😀

Where are you coming up with your symbolism topics? My favorite thing about this series, so far, is that you’ve chosen such cool and surprising topics! 🙂

I love your symbolism thesaurus.

I use symbolism in my novel, but I had the animal in mind first that I wanted to use (it worked with the story) and looked up what it symbolized. Fortunately it was perfect for the story. Whew!

Thanks for the advice Angela! This is a strong message in it's own right!

I'm going to keep it in mind!

Happy writing
