The Other Thesaurus

You know how it is... you start out looking for front door locks, next thing you know you're on a site describing basic bondage terminology, and before you know it, you've sailed right past the sexy grammar rules (seriously, I found a site that explains where not to put your commas during sex, um, scenes) and find yourself starting at a thesaurus for writers wanting to write "purple prose".

This helpful little guide is for romance writers, apparently, searching for that perfect word to describe their hero's (or heroine's) rapacious (avaricious, ferocious, furious, greedy, predatory, ravening, ravenous, savage, voracious) moment of rapture (bliss, ecstasy, elation, exaltation, glory, gratification, passion, pleasure...)in their writing.

I'm not going to add a link to this other thesaurus. There are some questionable links on the site, that I'd really rather not promote, even indirectly. A bit like watching reruns of The Brady Bunch, that you know it's out there should be enough for you. There's no need to go looking for it, too. :)

But I have learned a lesson today. Sometimes, you just shouldn't follow strange links when you're supposed to be working.

Argh! Now I'll be spending this evening looking for that site instead of doing my final edit on TDT! But then, *anything* is better than folding newspapers!

Don't suppose you could send me the link and save my sanity?


Hi Jenny, Of course there's a plus side to getting sidetracked. Personally, I found your website. I just love reading your blog. :-) Debbie
