How many writers have ever jumped up in the middle of writing a scene and acted it out? You speak the words–if multiple parts so much the better! You go through the motions, express the emotions, use the proper facial expressions, perhaps even try out multiple ones that might better match a specific tone or words.
And then turned back to your computer to capture the moment–and four cats are standing there watching you. It’s clear from the expressions on their furry little faces that they find you quite fascinating, though not always for the right reasons. No, they are judging you…and finding you somewhat…lacking.
Don’t listen to them. They’re just upset because you weren’t using this time to feed or pet them or pay attention to them in the thousands of ways cat demand. But don’t assume for a moment that they don’t know what the Seelie or Unseelie Court is. Not for a moment…they’re still waiting for you to figure out which they belong to!
One response to “The Unseelie Audience”
LOL. I don’t jump up and act out the scene (except once, for a fight scene). I have, however, been known to read aloud dialogue where the character has a foreign accent.
