The Occupation Thesaurus
A Writer's Guide to Jobs, Vocations, and Careers
About this book
What if you could fast-track the reader's understanding of a character without chunky paragraphs of description that kill the story's pace? And what if you could use a common element of daily life to explore story goals, relationships, themes, and even the character's internal growth? You can. It's time to activate the power of your character's occupation. Whether a character loves or hates what they do, a job can reveal many things about them, including their priorities, beliefs, desires, and needs. The Occupation Thesaurus will show you how a career choice can characterize, drive the plot, infuse scenes with conflict, and get readers on the character's side through the relatable pressures, responsibilities, and stakes inherent with work.
