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?

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...
