A to Z Challenge 2015 Theme Reveal - Writing Emotions and Reactions
The A to Z Blogging Challenge starts soon (April 1st) and there are loads of folks already signed up, so it should be an interesting month! :) As part of the fun, I'm joining in the A to Z Theme Reveal Blog Hop, where we commit to our theme for the month!
And, so here goes!
Since I'm an author, I always pick a writing theme for my blog, and this year, I've chosen to write about emotions and reactions, those important things that hold a plot together. So, I'm going to discuss how I see different emotions and reactions, what they mean to me, and their uses in fiction, both written and TV/Film.
Ooh, this sounds really interesting. Emotion in fiction is what really attaches me to a story. Should be fun giving them their due throughout the month. Good luck with the challenge! :D
Fun! I liked your posts last year, I'll definitely check these out too :) Most of my writing is emotion-, rather than plot-heavy, so I am sure these will be useful for me :) Cheers!

Wow, this sounds so interesting! I love to write too, and I totally understand the importance of emotions in a plot. Btw, I'd never heard of perspicacity. Happy #AtoZchallenge.
I'm not sure why I know perspicacity, I have a vague notion it's from a children's book or movie - I don't know why, but I'm thinking Poppy Longstocking, or something like that :)
Oooh, you've made up an excellent list! Some of those are easily glossed over or forgotten about by writers, so I can't wait to see what you have to say!
What a great theme! I subscribed to your blog and I'm really looking forward to reading all of your articles and hopefully picking up some good tips on how I can make my blog more interesting.
This is our, www.thechinesequest.com first #AtoZchallenge and we are excited to participate!
What a great idea for a theme!!! I love that some people have put the topic they'll be covering for each day, too. I didn't even think about doing that!
I'm fairly accomplished with the emotions/reactions indicating lack of emotion. However, I will go "Zero to "V" in no time at all where my kids' safety and happiness are concerned! Can't wait to hear your take!
We'll send you details of book releases, competitions and other news from our authors, BUT we WON'T spam you, or pass your details on to anyone else.
I enjoyed your posts last year and look forward to this years.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I'm looking forward to yours too :)

I'm a bit of both, I can start with plot or emotion, but the two always come together eventually :) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteSophie I have a fiction character with the same name. You look like you are very organized and I am sure you will do well.

Hi there. Glad you like my choice of theme :) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteWhat a great idea for a theme!!! I love that some people have put the topic they'll be covering for each day, too. I didn't even think about doing that!
ReplyDeleteCreating the subject list helped me get organised :) You had all those tantalizing pics on your post - they really caught my attention!
DeleteI'm fairly accomplished with the emotions/reactions indicating lack of emotion. However, I will go "Zero to "V" in no time at all where my kids' safety and happiness are concerned! Can't wait to hear your take!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are a good mother :) I hope I can do "V" and all the other letters justice :)
DeleteYour topics sound great. I see you did the same thing I did with X :P
ReplyDeleteYeah, X is a real toughie, isn't it! ;)
DeleteNow that is a really useful theme for all writers. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I hope it will be and it's fun sharing my own personal take on stuff with others, it can start interesting conversations.
DeleteLove the Theme you have :) Emotions as well as reactions together! It will be hard not to visit here. :) So I'm excited. That is my (reaction)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I'm looking forward to your theme too, since I'm not a fantastic artist and I hope to learn from and enjoy your posts.
DeleteI'm looking forward to your post. I already like the system you've posted there. I subscribed too! :)
