I just saw on Twitter that it hit #1 for Kindle (paid) for Reference & #2 for Writing. That's awesome! Congrats!

Thanks again everyone. So far the feedback is really good--I think a lot of writers needed something like this. If you did buy it and are willing to take a picture of yourself with it (digital or print), please send me a pic and I'll post it in my blog slideshow! You can @ me on twitter with it @angelaackerman or email it alackerm (at) telus.net whichever is easiest!

You guys are so awesome and supportive--thank you!  :grouphug2 It was nerve wracking writing this book, because Becca and I wanted to do right by writers and create something that really filled a void. We were terrified/excited/nervous to put it out there, and what the response would be. Now I'm just thrilled that so many are finding it a perfect writing companion. Thanks all of you for taking a risk and trying it out!

And Donna, your picture is up! If anyone else wants to send me a pic of you and the ET (digital or print) just snap a shot and send it to me at alackerm (at) telus (dot) net and I'll add you to the blog slideshow!

I saw it... thank you!

And for the record, I have a July Challenge on my blog right now that involves YOUR Emotion Thesaurus as a prize if enough folks join the challenge. I'll buy it and give it to them as a digital gift.  Everyone needs a copy of your book!

Thank you so much Rab! I am thrilled to see so many people pick up the book and then get all excited about it. This tells me there was a big need for a tool like this, and I feel honored to help provide it to all my writing friends :)

Now that the craziness in my life is slowing down a bit, I had to post this small bit of good news: Becca and I were contacted by Illinois State University--a English Professor there is going to use The Emotion Thesaurus as required reading for his Creative Writing Class!

Cue Angela: :broccoli
