In our thesaurus guides, Becca & I show how psychology helps us write human, authentic characters. I apply what I learn to myself, like how to reframe common writers' fears so they don't hold me back. I created a Fear Handout to help us all: r.mailer.onestopforwriters.com/3h2ecgsahz9p... #writing

When fear hits, your character’s go-to response will be Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn. Kickstart the brainstorming process with these body cue examples! Download the Fear Survival Response Sheet here: writershelpingwriters.net/writing-tools/ (Adapted from The Fear Thesaurus) #writingcommunity

Hidden experiences are a powerful form of common ground you can use to draw readers in close. Write them into your story to trigger empathy, compassion, and a desire to see the character overcome personal obstacles. writersinthestormblog.com/2025/01/want...

Tailor your character’s emotional responses to each character—it will draw readers in because their feelings are more authentic ;)

It’s a snowman mug & gnomie type of morning. Have a great day, all! :)

The mornings are dark with the time change, but I have lights to keep me company during morning coffee. And of course, Christmas Godzilla is watching over everyone :) Happy Saturday!

I created this account a while ago but didn't post. So... Hi, I'm Angela, and I know the world is a scary place right now. But I'd rather focus on what I can control than what I can't, and so my mission is to try to help and put kindness and good into the world. I hope that's your mission too. <3
