Writing Resources

My main thesaurus website which is up while I write:

My favorite Random Name Generator: There are so many ways to tweak the settings and generate names to choose from:

If you have spare credits/moolah/kruge, these are awesome:

Translations: Nothing beats having a native or fluent speaker's help, but DeepL tends to do better than Google Translate:

I don't heed even a third of its suggestions, but the Hemingway Editor is good for finding stupidly long run-on sentences that I otherwise skim over. It encourages me to rework some things, make them more succinct:

Able-bodied people remember the existence of words such as debilitating, incapacitating, draining, all-consuming, overwhelming, destructive, drastic, limiting, disruptive, excruciating, etc. instead of using a fucking slur challenge: difficulty level impossible

#I beg of yall to put the word 'crippling' into a thesaurus and pick literally any other option it gives u #or like. use the actual word for the emotion ur trying to express #sorry. I saw some shit lmao #<-this has been in my drafts for months so idk what pissed me off but I've decided it's still a good post. so #armchair speaks #actually disabled #physically disabled #cripplepunk

sorry for jokingly complaining about needing to vary the verbs in porny fic, i can see why you'd leap from that to "this person does not understand that sex scenes are about ~Emotions~!" and not to "ha ha this person must write A LOT of porn!"

#also the REST of the story is ALSO about Emotions so the defining feature of the sex scene is the sex part isn't it? #like however much introspection i put into it we still have to keep track of what Tab A and Slot B are up to in the meantime #so yes i do need to go type the word 'thrust' in at thesaurus dot com to keep things from getting too repetitive here #for both the reader and for me as a writer who remembers what i wrote in the *last* sex scene i wrote with this pair of characters #so anyway #fic related #hey u know what else is a good verb? 'fansplaining'

I just possibly stumbled into a gold mine for writing because this first book in the series is really GOOD. A very useful guide in displaying emotions in writing.

god somebody please get cam esselmont an editor

#all his books could be 1/3 the length #and give him a thesaurus for christmas #u can tell when he finds a new cool word because it's every fucking sentence for a chapter #and every character explains everything #like it's never just *body language* #it has to be *he did body language because he meant [emotion]*

[coldflasher]

someone please remind me to start carrying a copy of the emotion thesaurus around w me because i am SO bad at describing feelings and the website only has very limited body language stuff.

Show Us Your Wounds Writers and Stealing Seven King Cakes

There’s this really great book for writers by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi called The Emotional Wound Thesaurus. It came out way back in 2017.

#it was supposed to be a cutesy romance compilation centered around halloween #🙃 #like choices were made with this story that i am not feeling #also i’ve been in fandom too long #but also also why would she use that when there is a whole thesaurus of adjectives available that don’t cause me emotional distress
