If you attended Tuesday's Get It Write Workshop, I want to thank you for participating and stopping by this site.
In class, I mentioned an exhaustive list of human emotions compiled by Dr. Raymond Lloyd Richmond. Dr. Richmond has this information available on his website. Click Guide to Psychology to retrieve the list.
As discussed in the workshop, understanding the scope of human emotion helps a nonfiction writer determine his goal. What do I want my readers to feel when they read my article?
The information assists fiction writers in character and scene development.
I'd love to hear how you put this information to work in your writing. Jot a note in the comments section.
