Had to share this article and the link to the thesaurus. Completely awesome--and works great in conjunction with the wordle.com word cloud. If your word cloud suggests you are using words like head, or eyes, or frown too often, it might be time to make your gestures more specific.
Thanks to the spacefreighters blog for a fantastic article.

Happy writing!

P.S. Angela, the Bookshelf Muse, also has a symbolism thesauraus, a setting thesaurus, and a color, textures and shapes thesaurus now. Amazing tools for writers!
