It's Here - Our Onomatopoeia Book: ONOMATOPOEIA Sounds like...!

Several months ago a group of writers, myself included, got together and put together an onomatopoeia book of sounds for various words. The book is divided into several sections:

* Elements
* Earth, Fire, Water, Wind
* Food and Drink Sounds
* Animals
* Movements and Sounds
* Mystical Creatures
* Sounds from People
* People
* Clothing
* Emotions
* Bodily Sounds
* Devices, Mechanics, Sounds in a Building
* Sounds heard in the City
* Sounds heard in the Country
* Words to Describe Colors

For instance, under the Section Heading of "Elements" you will find the word "Earth". Under that subheading you will find words and phrases like "Leaves", "Trees", "Mud Slide", etc. For each of these words you will find a list of words to describe that word or phrase. For instance, here are words to describe a Mud slide: Babble, Burble, Croon, Glunk, Gurgle, Gush, Heave, Murmur, Prattle, Ripple, Splash, Slop, Slosh, Spurt, Smoosh, Squash,Squirt, Squish, Stream, Surge, Swill, Trickle, Warble, Whoosh. This could be useful if you're writing something and you're trying to come up with a word to describe the sound of a mud slide. You might write: "The mud murmured and gurgled as it whooshed down the hillside." Other categories can be used in similar fashion.
