Argh. What happens when all of the characters in your head decide they're too busy doing their own thing to cooperate with your story? Ahhh!!!

They're all in a domestic mood at the moment.

Writer: I want some action!!! There's still a galaxy to save! A coup to overthrow! Aliens to be defeated! Hello? What are you all doing? Vila, stop feeding Corinne! Avon, stop hiding in the lab! What are you doing in there with Cally? Argus, you have to let go of Reya sometime and do your leadership thing. You can't do it holding her. And no, I don't think it will stop her. Hello? Anyone listening? What about the story?

Yes, you look good with or without anything (on). And yes, I'm talking about a tan.

How about a compromise. You don't have to do any suffering in the next story. We can negotiate about Gardenos and the length of time. How about a Gardenos-substitute?

Mmmm... no suffering in the next story, and a plentiful supply of coffee. Real coffee, none of that ersatz 'caffeine substitute'.

You drive a hard bargain. How about some angst on the side?

*cautiously* I could do a good stubbed toe, or paper cut.

Hmm are you trying to avoid my question, Avon?

*sigh* All right, you can have some angst. But I reserve the right to decide when I've had enough.

*mutter* I should have a safe word.

Alright then you can have your quality time with Cally. Just remember to come up for air once in a while. You do have other things to do.

Good. *grins* Now you can try negotiating with Vila.

You know, that left brain/right brain thing works really well in that icon you have.

Avon doesn't know what you're talking about. :^)

mmmm... I'm going to have to go to bed in a few minutes. This has been fun. I hope they decide to cooperate with you.

Hehe. It's been great fun. Thanks =) Yes, they're starting to talk to me again. I guess Avon put them up to it because he was sulking.

Oh the left/right brain thing. The theory is that the right brain controls the left side of your face and visa versa. So unless the actor is deliberately doing a completely non-reactive face. The left side of the face will show more emotion than the right. This is most noticeable during emotional scenes.

I'm going to sleep now too.

Ah! I hadn't heard that... I wonder if it's true for left-handed folks as well?

Hmm. I don't know if handedness plays a factor.

I bet no one's ever checked it out. Bit difficult until recently as so many lefties were taught to disguise their handedness.

I sometimes suspect PD of having been born a lefty.

Edit: Must be time for bed when I forget which journal I'm using. :^) Good night.

Hmm. I don't know if handedness plays a factor or how sound the theory is. But so far I've noticed that either both sides reflect emotions and non-emotions. Or the left side more. I haven't seen the right side show more emotion yet. I should do more screen caps.

Night =)

Night!

More screen caps is always the answer to the question. :^)

I have no idea if this has any actual scientific basis, but we were taught in drama school that if you want to release emotions, it helps to do something with your left hand - pick up a prop, or fiddle with your buttons or something.

That's interesting. It does sound indicative doesn't it? I guess your drama teacher never gave you any explanations?

He said it was because the right side of the brain was responsible for emotions, but, like most theatre people, he wasn't exactly up-to-date on developments cognitive neuropsychology, so it might be b*llocks!

That is what I've read. The right side is more responsible for emotions. The left side is generally the logic centre of the brain. But I'm not up to the most current developments either. Have you seen research indicating otherwise?

Did his advice work? Of course it might just be the power of suggestion if it did...
