Today, we have Amygdala Hijack. This explains a physiological process in our brain in how we respond to stimuli. As always, there is a lot of information to go over, but I promise that this will be useful in character building moments for your story.

Learned Helplessness & Least Effort Principle — A-to-Z Blog Challenge, Literary Terms
Now starting the third week and we start off with L, or as I call it, the Longest titLe for this chaLLenge thus far! Like many letters up to this point, L proved to be a challenge and I had to once again scour the internet for good words that still represent concepts that writers should know.
Today we tackle Learned Helplessness and Least Effort Principle.
I thank everyone for the support thus far and I look forward to reaching the end of our path together. Show me you’re still out there with a comment below.
Katharsis & Kleos — A-to-Z Blog Challenge, Literary Terms
Now we come to the end of the second week with K. I would like to believe the difficulty of this letter was the last of my challenge, but I know that this challenge is going to get even worse. My problem is not with finding words (though that is still a challenge) but finding two words that I can connect together.
Today we have Katharsis and Kleos. So obscure that Firefox thinks they are misspellings.
As always, post below and tell me what you think. I love the attention… I mean encouragement… yeah, encouragement.
Justice & Justification — A-to-Z Blog Challenge, Literary Terms
I end the second week with two very unforgiving letters. The letter J is so promising, it has a great sound to it, and yet there are so few J words. We need more I tell you. And with K, I cry.
Today I tackle Justice and Justification. Important for worldbuilding and character development.
And before you leave today, please post what you think. I’ll be more than happy to read and respond.
