501 More Writers Useful Phrases - Paperback

by Quentin Cope (Author)

This is a further selection to the original 501 Writers Useful Phrases, a collection of short, descriptive phrases, expressions and one liners designed to give your writing that extra punch, with offerings on specific subject matter such as Appearance, Conversation, Fear, Feelings, Opinion, Philosophical, Senses, Tenacity, Time and Viewpoints.

The selected phrases are there to assist the enthusiastic writer and novelist who comes face to face with the odd case of 'writers block' ... the 'too much coffee ... brain not functioning' syndrome and the simply 'can't be bothered to write another word today' disease.

This is not a book of instruction but simply a reminder pad of words, expressions and complete phrases that you may not have thought of using in your writing before. At worst they will prompt you to find the phrase you actually have been looking for, and at best they will 'save' a complete chapter or section of your manuscript from the dreaded editor's blue pencil.

For example, let's take the subject of Fear. This is a topic with many parameters, but you will find some phrases contained within this section describing the kind of fear experienced by your character or perhaps the fear generated by a particular moment in time. Just one of these phrases may well trigger an avalanche of words in your mind, a place that only seconds previously appeared bare and unfruitful. Your new discovery, prompted by the words you found in this writers handy assistant, have done the trick, providing you with the impetus you required.
