Urban Dictionary. The Love Experiment: Introduction. On Thursday, February 3rd, 2011 I am going to start a 7-day experiment with love and I invite all of you to try it with me.
Before I tell you what the experiment consists of, I need to tell you how I came up with the idea. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and meditation in the last week and the idea of love kept coming up. It pursued me further in movie lines, song lyrics and StumbleUpon articles. It then became ridiculous when love showed up in two articles sent to me by some readers. Obviously “love was in there air.”
Feeling compelled to look into the idea of love further, I began re-reading a book that speaks almost only about love: “Conversations with God” by Neale Walsch. “Masters are those who have chosen only love. The word ‘Master’ in this case is referring to someone who has mastered life. I never refer to religion to support my ideas in my articles. So how do I apply this love thing? Close your eyes. Does that not feel ridiculously good? The Experiment What is that going to do?
Writers are Really Just Deranged Pshycologists Without Degrees (And Other Such Thoughts) No.
Seriously. It's true. I don't think I've ever met an author who wasn't intrigued by the workings of relationships and minds. I've also never met an author who was nice to their characters. We get a demented delight out of killing off important people, hurling insults at characters, and hammering them until they break. I love experimenting with different pairings of friendships. One thing I've noticed is that, in stories, usually the heroine is always having these horrible breakdowns, and everyone - usually the uber attractive boyfriend - ends up having to comfort them. One of my favorite relationships is the one between Zeke and Kaylor. Nock and Ember are fun too. And then there's Robin and the gang. I want to take a pshycology course just so that I can see the effects of all the trauma I've forced upon my characters. Anyways, I should quit writing about friendships and go figure out how to establish Robin and Will as friends.
The Silence is Deafening. Okay, put me in a room with a fantasy fan of any genre, author, of any age, intelligence, race, background, language or gender, and I can have a marvelous conversation.
Put me in a room with any sci-fi fan, and I can, perhaps, keep up, and have fun. I can talk with literary buff who love only the classics with middling intelligence. I can babble with fans of period dramas (is that what you call those?). I can talk with sewers, knitters, crafters of any kind, fencers, horse-lovers, anyone who ever watched any kind of movie that I've seen. Some Thoughts... 45 Life Guidelines. I'm not a girl, but the psychology here is really interesting...
