#left brained

[slapmeintorealityharry]

I took one buzzfeed quiz and two hours later I‘m trying to find out if I‘m more left or right brained based on the customization of my rotisserie chicken dinner

There's so much "Fuck numbers, I'm a creative type. Math is so hard" culture but where's the "Fuck art, I'm a stem major. Creating gives me anxiety" culture Where is it?

Improving Screenwriting Skills With Creative Integration by Corey Mandell via FilmCourage.com.

Corey Mandell:  When I work with a writer I will train them through creative integration.  So what we do is make them write to their weakness and hide their strength.

So if I am right-handed and I my left hand is really uncoordinated, if I literally tie my right hand behind my back for a month and I do everything with my left hand, it’s going to get stronger and more coordinated.  Now during that month I might spill a lot of things and be very inefficient but over time I’ll develop my left arm and coordination and the strength, then I’ll learn how to integrate the two.

For a conceptual writer they will work exclusively from the intuitive part.  They will learn how to turn off the conceptual part.  The conceptual part has all these big ideas and worries about story a lot.  It has all these anxieties and judgment.  And you turn that off and teach them how to create from a pure, authentic, emotional space.  Now their writing may not be well-structured.  It might not be something they are going to show an agent but through that process their characters will come alive, their dialogue will come alive.  And one of the key things when (watch the video interview on Youtube here).

Are you left brained or right brained?

No thoughts head empty

Left-brained

When I chose to pursue

A career in science

My parents said,

“You’re left-brained.”

And just like that

They expected me to lose

My imagination

My creativity

The colors in my mind

I find it funny, actually

That people limit themselves

To one hemisphere or the other

It’s also ironic

That despite the degrees in biochemistry and genetics

I’m “right-brained” as hell

I don’t see why people have to choose

You can be imaginative

And intuitive

All at once

I will forever be

A hybrid

Somewhere between

Logical and creative

Numbers and colors

Doctor and poet
