• I blank you
• Don’t use verbs that don’t actually impact on the other person

  • Paint by numbers vs. Painting in the moment
  • High School vs. advanced action
  • emotions that are planned and ersatz vs, emotions that are spontaneous, uncontrolled, come out of action and therefore vibrate with humanity and are so much more interesting to watch (but remember, that’s not primarily what we’re watching for: it’s not interesting to watch someone feel – it’s interesting to watch something happen).
