I’ve got the look
No, I’m not singing ‘vintage’ songs…I’m communicating with my daughter. I’ve always known, and been taught that nonverbal cues constitutes the majority of our communication. So after three attempts at telling my daughter to put on socks to no avail, I put both hands on my hips, pursed my lips and glared at her, wide eyed with my eyebrows raised. No foot tapping occurred. But she took one look at me, detoured back upstairs and voila! No longer barefooted.
This got me to thinking about my writing and how I could make it stronger. Without words I compelled my sweet baby to do something. So, without telling you, the reader, I could explain the nonverbal cues, and compel you to feel and experience what the characters do/say/feel/hear/et cetera.
I wish it were that easy.
I try to do that. Try. If you master it, you could give lessons.
And my spam word is ikea. What’s up with that? do you want me to buy more furniture?

That’s why I watch Lie to Me :>. Totally for research. Amazing how much exact information on visual cues and microexpressions you get from that show. It comes in very handy.
And it’s a good show. Really. But I watch it for the educational value ;>

I didn’t build the captcha, but that’s funny.
Sounds like great research… I’ll look for other creative media to study….Grey’s anatomy can show me love scenes….
