I consider myself successful if their cognitive reaction, the reaction that you SEE, is congruent with what they're feeling. Contrarily, it's also fun for them to force an outward reaction that doesn't match what they're feeling and be totally aware of the deception. I have an uncanny (and sometimes annoying) habit of remembering minute details about an experience from my past. I remember the weirdest little things sometimes! I like that to come out in my characters because I can attach meaning to why they remembered THIS, but not THAT.Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00950934503254500613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170828505844723150.post-31841996816656632232011-04-14T07:56:51.174-07:002011-04-14T07:56:51.174-07:00Emotional responses are the hardest, because we so...Emotional responses are the hardest, because we sometimes don't even know what triggered our emotions, but we feel them!aprilhoythttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05992485192426728917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170828505844723150.post-75665562284761402272011-04-14T01:52:42.008-07:002011-04-14T01:52:42.008-07:00I respond emotionally when something or someone re...I respond emotionally when something or someone reminds me of someone who passed away--it just hits me.Jennifer Shirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16970585847385511795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170828505844723150.post-37399115475591750282011-04-13T19:16:34.664-07:002011-04-13T19:16:34.664-07:00Thanks everyone for the awesome comments.

I also believe that people don't really change unless they have an emotional experience to do so.Kristyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02634987114195614214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170828505844723150.post-65208108080261956792011-04-13T09:55:06.098-07:002011-04-13T09:55:06.098-07:00Good idea.

I don't have a very good memory for details, but I can remember how it makes me feel. (Unless the situation is really stressful. Life altering stressful. Then I can remember details and normally I don't want to.)<br>Thanks for the great post.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13016973541553233943noreply@blogger.com
