Stocking Stuffers for Writers Is Back (and so Is Godzilla)
December is here, andthat means Godzilla’s Stocking Stuffers for Writers is back! Now, you might be thinking, isn’t it early to give holiday gifts? And WHY is Godzilla my Secret Santa?
Great questions!
Well, you might not know this, but Godzilla guards Angela’s Christmas tree. He takes his job seriously, but a guy gets pretty bored up there so he likes to read, too.
Unfortunately, he’s SUPER PICKY ABOUT BOOKS and threatened to smash down the tree if Becca and I didn’t hand over writerly stocking stuffers to help writers craft more amazing stories. And do Stocking Stuffers for Writers was born.

Also, Godzilla wants to share his latest read with you.
As you can see, he’s got one of ours. In fact…he’s reviewed it. I’m a little afraid to post it here but he’s insisting–aggressively–so I better. So, um, here it is:
Godzilla’s Book Review:
As the mighty Godzilla, I know a thing or two about causing chaos and destruction. So, when I found The Emotion Amplifier Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Character Stress and Volatility on the bookshelf, I was fired up. Yeahhh stress! Makes you mad and you snash things. Books need more smashing in them.
I liked how this guide digs into common states and conditions—like pain, exhaustion, scrutiny and danger—that make it hard for characters to stay in control of their emotions. That’s great! When they lose it, they make big mistakes. Maybe they set a city on fire or something. Amplifiers also make it nearly impossible to hide their emotions. Ha! Puny humans. Only the great Godzilla can hide emotion!
What I didn’t like? Well, as a monster who enjoys destroying buildings and stomping on adversaries, I couldn’t help but notice a lack of guidance on showing the sheer joy of mass destruction. Where were the tips on capturing the exhilaration of toppling skyscrapers and sending people running for their lives? More focus on violence and chaos would have taken this book up a notch.

Well, there you have it. Godzilla’s review.
Um…thanks, I guess?
If you’re looking for a Christmas Gift…
The Emotion Amplifier Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Character Stress and Volatility takes writers through the disruptive world of amplifiers—specific states or conditions that make it difficult for a character to emotionally self-regulate, setting them up for poor judgment and (hopefully) colossal mistakes they’ll have to fix and learn from.
Part how-to, part brainstorming tool, this expanded edition explores 52 unique amplifiers, such as pain, hunger, competition, arousal, and more.
