There’s a cool new site called Visual Thesaurus. Basically, you type in a word and VT provides a map of related words, each of which contains an article or audio file. It’s something of a linguistic treasure hunt. You can try it out for free, but to really explore it you need to subscribe. Each week, VT features a different author. So you guessed it, I’m blogging about it today because I’m this week’s author. The article is taken from the backstory I wrote for MJ Rose’s site. Click here to see a number of authors talking about what inspired their work.
