## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A vital, well-researched, helpful novelist's tool
*by V***G on October 13, 2023*

Unlike the vast majority of writers guide, this is intended as a handy reference, to keeping any action 'beats' or descriptions likely and engaging. As the author compiled a variety of well-known literary phrasing, not close to bordering on direct copyright violations, yet will improve almost any novel or fictional work.I've relied on this book since I first got it, and it's never gotten old or isn't a vital element of my writing. It's especially helpful, since I'm on the autism spectrum, I often can't read, or even gauge how people react, so have a hard time accurately describing people's emotional responses. Yet this almost always works.My only objection, is what it bypasses, never once mentioning eye rolling, strongly suggesting 'squinting' or 'looking askance' instead, which is hardly as accurate a description. The best alternative I could come up with, was: "glancing at the stars skies, trying to capture them all." That's a wildly terrible alternative, so I consider their whole view on the topic as unreasonable, and not well-considered. Yet, that's the only objection I've had with it so far.If curious, look up 'action beats' for a better description of their use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I needed
*by O***E on July 17, 2022*

So often, one gets in a habit of using the same physical action terms when writing. It's not that a writer doesn't have plenty of vocabulary or can't think of a better way of saying something, but in the middle of writing, the words get set down at a speed that doesn't always make it possible to switch from creative to editor. This book is a handy reference that helps a writer find a better way of describing physical action. Fifty percent of the time, I'm using a suggestion from the book. The other fifty it's the prod I need to come up with something influenced by the needs of the story itself. Either way, it's better writing. This book will not teach you how to write better. It's not for that. It's a resource for writers who know they need to raise their writing bar one step more and just need a little direction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a helpful guide for writers...
*by L***A on February 18, 2023*

This book is awesome. I use it daily when I write, not for the exact phrases in the book but to spur my creativity when I'm stuck on a physical body movement or internal reaction. For example, if my characters have blushed multiple times throughout one of my novels, phrasing can get stale. But with this guide, if I'm really stuck, I can generally think of a different combination of words for their pink cheeks a second, third, or fourth time around. I highly recommend picking up a copy. Yes, there are other books, like The Emotion Thesaurus, but those serve a different purpose for me. And I keep those by my side when I write as well.
