Theme & Style

  1. Character Web

    I didn't post this video because it's about The Walking Dead. I never really cared much for that show. Watched a few episodes, then lost interest pretty fast. Maybe because there's no identifiable theme? I don't know. I posted the video because it's about Character Web and how to go about creating one. Each character should have a particular stance on the main theme, or possibly a secondary theme for some of them. Otherwise they don't belong and are just along for the ride and weighing...
  2. What a Year!

    As 2022 comes to an end, most of us are reflecting back on the year and others mine as well be in 2023. getting those resolutions ready to be forgotten about by the second week of January if they're lucky to make it that long. I've tried that I don't know how many times and I never felt like I was actually changing. well until this year. The beginning of the year had all the magic; I thought 2022 was gonna be the year where everything just magically turned perfectly. Between trying to be a...
  3. Wild Woman – A message to women

    Wild Woman – A message to women You know her. She lives inside of you. She is your instinct and intuition. She is the experiences and lessons of your ancestors encoded in your DNA. If you trust her, and let her live, you can be your authentic self. Hell with dogma. If you let her come to the surface, you will realize all your original gifts. Folklore is rich in the psychology of women. For this reason, I encourage you to get a copy of and read Women Who Run With the Wolves, by Clarissa...
  4. Symmetry

    Symmetry Our psychology seeks symmetry. Pattern and balance feel right. We want our forces to complement one another. Excesses and deficiencies make us lopsided. Irregularity and unpredictability get us off our game. Sight brings us butterflies, flowers and snowflakes, and lovely human faces, all ordered and proportionate. The symmetry we see is appealing. As symmetrical beings, we fit well in a symmetrical world. The familiarity is comforting. I can feel symmetry when I am moving,...
  5. Perspective and Perception

    Perspective is something you have and perception is something you do. Information comes in. Where do you look for it? That’s your perspective. You control it. It’s what you see. It’s your point of view. It’s what you focus on, be it narrow or broad. It’s what you consider. And in considering, you make sense of what you see. You interpret. That’s your perception. Perspective affects perception. A wider perspective sees more. For example, putting myself in another’s shoes may change my...
  6. Poetry in Prose

    Art elicits emotion, and in A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful, Edmund Burke proposes that poetic verse is the most effective art form in evoking an emotional response. The title of this blog—I Dwell in Possibility— is a nod to Emily Dickinson and her poem that celebrates poetry: I dwell in Possibility I dwell in Possibility – A fairer House than Prose – More numerous of Windows – Superior – for Doors – Of Chambers as the Cedars –...
  7. USA

    Too long for the Favorite Quotes thread, but classic PJ O'Rourke: “I was having dinner…in London…when eventually he got, as the Europeans always do, to the part about “Your country’s never been invaded.” And so I said, “Let me tell you who those bad guys are. They’re us. WE BE BAD. We’re the baddest-assed sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We’re three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended from a stock market crash on our mother’s side. You take your Germany,...
