Click on over to Angela Ackerman's uber-popular blog THE BOOKSHELF MUSE and check out her 7 part series on the 7 Deadly Sins of Novel Writing.1. Low Stakes
2. Counterfeit Characters
3. Missing the Mark on Voice & POV
4. Plot Snafus
5. Flat Wordsmithing
6. Dialog Disaster
7. TMI -Too Much Information
Final Thoughts---and one more sin thrown in for good measure:)
So now that you are revising your novel, minding the 7 sins, you'll need a killer thesaurus so as not to commit sin #5. Where do you go? Back to The BookShelf Muse for:
An Emotional Thesaurus
A Settings Description Thesaurus
A Color, Textures and Shapes Thesaurus
To look up specific Emotions, Setting Descriptions and Color, Textures and Shapes, go to THE BOOKSHELF MUSE and scroll down a bit. On your right is word after word after beautiful word:)
Happy Writing & Revising!

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Great stuff here! I had no idea there were so many kinds of thesauruses!
I actually posted on my favorite resource books right before I left on a trip last week. :)
Thanks for the link to the thesauri, Jill!
Thanks, Jill, for plugging Angela's awesome 7 Deadly Sins series and The Bookshelf Muse! As you probably know, Angela is my hero. I am happy to bask in the peripheral glow of her fame ;).
