This will be the next book we create, yes. 🙂 But that means at least a year. 🙂 Becca and I are doing something very unusual for us…taking the summer off. 🙂

Hi, Stacey! The interest in the Emotional Wounds Thesaurus has been high, so the chances of us turning it into a book are high. But that won’t be for awhile, since we’re still fleshing it out at the blog, and we’re just two weeks away from publishing our setting thesaurus books. If you’d like to stay up to date on information about our books and what’s coming down the ‘pike, you can always sign up for this newsletter. That way you’ll be informed about if/when the emotional wounds thesaurus is going to be published. Happy writing!

Yes, good strategy. The MG protagonist is the star of the book, and if you have too strong of a therapist’s angle it will feel preachy and not ring true with the MG voice.

The story is more about the patient, and not what the therapist says, and is one way to keep the story legally safe (I wouldn’t want a 10 year-old self-diagnosing)……

HI Elba,

The Emotional Wound Thesaurus is not a book..yet. And yes, it is different from The Emotion Thesaurus. The ET looks at how to express emotion, and the Wound Thesaurus is about painful past wounds characters must overcome to grow in Character Arc.

If you like, go here and you can see the entries we have explored on the blog so far. https://writershelpingwriters.net/emotional-wounds-thesaurus/

I hope this helps! You may also want to check out Emotional Amplifiers, a free companion to the Emotion thesaurus. Just go here and scroll down: https://writershelpingwriters.net/bookstore/

From the info here, it looks like a new book coming out? Have you published it yet? I have all of your books and subscribe to your blog. Can’t imagine how I missed this.
