These are fabulous! I’ve been showcasing one of my current characters as being a good listener. I love that he’s not the stereotype listed. I am going to work in some of these ideas. Thanks so much, Becca!

Great trait, there’s the negative and the positive side to it! Great job!

I had never thought of a con artist needing this skill, but of course a con artist must. I always learn something when I come here. Thanks for another great post.

Thanks for the kind words, Donna! I’m glad we’ve been able to make things a little easier for you.

As for a book version of the Talents and Skills Thesaurus…who knows :). We’re probably not going to turn all of our thesauri into books; it all depends on which ones are the most beneficial to writers. We’ll keep you posted!

In reply to Traci Kenworth. Sadly, I had to be inspired by some other people to write this one. I'm not the best listener in the world. There's always something to work on :)

I can only try to express how grateful I am having discovered you two and your site (and books, though I had the “Emotion” book before finding you online!). These are exactly the kinds of tools I was aching for, making the thinking and research process while building characters, plotting, etc. faster and easier. Anything to do that and save time is a true godsend. Thank you! Also, are you going to compile your “Skills & Talents” thesaurus into a print book to purchase? I SO love actual paper books I can handle, flip through quickly and highlight 😀
