If your a romance author and need to add some zing to your story try this really clever book full of descriptions for writing romance. I really liked how it didn't cover just the usual contemporary romance stuff I was expecting but it also had useful sections for historical, paranormal , and science fiction romance. It even has a romance thesaurus for most genres. A nice surprise, plus more.
A great reference book, especially for an author who's experiencing writer's block. Writing a scene is simplified with this great read that includes the rules of romance, varying types of thesaruses that can be applied in writing, and a whole lot of setting specific phrases. I may not agree with each rule listed, however, as a romance author myself, I can see the great value in this book. The Action Thesarus in particular seemed very useful.Also, though some of the phrases may come off as cliche, there are so many others that are original. If you're not into the copy and paste sort of game (which I can understand), then use the phrases to spark some inspiration.All in all this was a great read and I highly recommend it.
Interestingly, this book gave me both less and more of what I was looking for. This book has 138 pages of tags (plus other pages) but over 30 of those pages appear to have little to do with the romance genre. Tags for everything from Aliens to Angels, Werewolves to Energy Beings appear to be taken directly from Mr. Chase's Science Fiction or Fantasy/Supernatural phrase books, and are not tweaked to fit the romance genre. On Romance specific tags, the author delivers what's promised. However the marketing of those 30 plus pages as sci-fi/paranormal romance seems to be hyperbole. Only 2 pages of them appear to be specifically tailored to sci-fi romance. In many of his titles, the author notes that there is overlap between each book, but that still doesn't prepare you for how much identical content there is. Basically this appears to be vertical marketing -- selling much of same material to different niches. Unfortunately, writers cross genres. (On the plus side, I was interested in Science Fiction or Fantasy but didn't get them because of the overlap. Now, I have no need for them, because so much is covered here, though I don't know why.) What's great about the Romance version -- and why I bought it before being able to see its Table of Contents -- is that I guessed correctly that it wouldn't contain the same "blades, bludgeons and other weapon" tags that appear seemingly through the other editions.
As a romance writer, I found this phrase book helpful. It gives examples of emotion and romantic scenarios without using the same terms over and over. It goes on to describe how a character might feel or bond with another character. Some phrases are short and can be used as dialog tags. I had fun playing with them to fit my own writing style!
I got this book out of curiosity through Kindle Unlimited and I'm glad I did. This is such a helpful book for romance writers. The tags are different to a lot of other books (or blog posts) that I've seen, and with a bit of rewording they give you an unlimited source of inspiration. I've found if I've been stuck in a scene I just glance through the appropriate section in this book and I'm away. A big chunk of this book is not to do with classic romance. As I don't write paranormal or science fiction romance, I'm not too sure how accurate these sections are. The author appears to clarify on the sales page exactly what books are included in which volumes, so you shouldn't find yourself purchasing something you already have. (Other authors PLEASE TAKE NOTE!)The section with tags for The Blob is just outright hilarious! Get this book if you're a romance writer - you'll learn an awful lot just from using some of the tags and letting your imagination roam. I might even be tempted to pay the $10 for an actual paper copy of this, which is unheard of in our digital home!
This is a great book with hundreds of different phrases and long vocabulary lists that could help a writer give more detail to a simple idea. I already use some of the phrases in my own books but several more are new to me. It doesnât matter what genre you writeâromance, murder/mystery, action, sci/fi, fantasy, horror, etcâthere are lots of phrases to inspire any author.I will definitely refer to this book for whenever I need to add some spice to my books.Disclaimer â Thank you, Jackson Dean Chase, for sending me an ebook copy for an honest review.
