{"product_id":"the-ultimate-fiction-thesaurus-sam-stone-9781481217408","title":"The Ultimate Fiction Thesaurus - Complete!","description":"The #1 selling thesaurus on Kindle is now available as a handy desk reference  There are a thousand ways to say something and at least a few hundred to express it well. This is not simply another thesaurus but 2 complete writing lessons which aim to shave a year off of your creative development. This is a bold objective but as you go over these devices, in this brief but powerful tutorial, it will train you to think like a novelist. Let's see how this works: First we start with a character description: Bill has grey hair. This is a fine description, and certainly direct, but let's flex our muscles a little more: Bill's hair is salted with grey. Bill's hair is frosted with age. Bill's hair is threaded with silver. Now try these concept words on your own: peppered, streaked, flecked, weeded You can immediately see the limitations of a traditional thesaurus; they are helpful at supplying literal equivalents, such as charcoal for grey, but frequently miss the finer nuances of language. Beyond the inspirational support most books offer, I can assure you that two things, and only two, are guaranteed to improve your writing. These are reading and the act of writing itself. This is a small but unique 'literary thesaurus' that bridges the gap of reading by taking common descriptive devices and words and places them into usable categories that will serve as a ready toolbox for your own writing. This tutorial is ideal for beginning and intermediate fiction writers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Stone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481217402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481217408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.10d","brand":"Sam Stone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46465509196031,"sku":"9781481217408","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_51b4a7f7-5aac-41c9-8216-53def65d74a1.jpg?v=1736346461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ultimate-fiction-thesaurus-sam-stone-9781481217408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
