Cindy, you are the BEST. Thank you so much for the kind words. We love to help, and hope everyone enjoys this new thesaurus!

I am so glad you found your way to Katie’s blog, because she has fantastic resources and a great mind for story. And how great that’s how you discovered us, too!

We’re just starting to explore this thesaurus, so we don’t have a set list of entries just yet, but we will add these to our running list if they are not there already. Thank you for the suggestions, and all the kind words! 🙂

I found out about your website and your Thesauruses from her and have purchased all ten of them from Amazon in order to assist me in writing more realistic and interesting characters in my screenplays.

I’m excited to see that you are working now on The Character Type And Trope Thesaurus.

Are you considering writing about the following Character Types? The Narcissist, The Greedy Individual, The Psychopath, The Religious Individual

Thanks for the great ideas, Lindy :).

Thanks, Isabel!

Hi, Tricia. Thanks for this. It sounds similar to what we’ll be doing, digging into certain characters and learning how to apply them most effectively in stories. But we’ll be casting a wider net and looking specifically at how to twist the cliché and make each into something a bit new. There’s so much research needed in this area, so we appreciate the recommendation!

I’d love to see entries on:
– the Mean Girl (because they’re so easy to turn into stereotypical caricatures, yet they do really exist in real life unfortunately)
– the Manic Pixie Dream Girl
– the…Prude? Virgin? (pretty much a character who is more conservative sexually. I feel like it’s okay if male characters are sexually conservative, but if a female is, then people take offense and she’s labeled as “misogynistic” or “unrealistic” or “prude.” I’d like to see how to tackle a conservative/modest female—and even male!—character successfully so they’re realistic and inoffensive.

Thank you again for this great resource. Excited to see it unfold!
