The Bookshelf Muse has an Emotion Thesaurus. It shows how to describe the character’s emotion through a physical action. Each Thursday they introduce new emotions to the thesaurus, offering writers an ‘idea bank’ for the times when they get stuck. The lists in the sidebar give an indepth look at specific words,and can help spark an idea for the writer. At the bottom of the list is an Addendum to the Thesaurus, comprised of secondary/reactive emotions.
