How Does YOUR Brain Work?
Frequent correspondent and scriptwriter Michael Downend points us to yet another interesting internet site. This one explores the workings of the left and right side of our brains, a subject that has long fascinated me.
Not only will you find there some illuminating commentary about various ways of thinking. Also, the site offers an online quiz that will help you understand your own mind even better.
As you probably know, there are a number of provocative books about harnessing the two sides of your brain. I’ve read several, all worth the time investment. As it happens, here in Puerto Vallarta, where I live, we’ll have an opportunity to attend a 12-week workshop on The Write Way.
Do any of you have experiences and insights into this curious aspect of nurturing the creative side of your brain? Or even the orderly side, when we face our chaotic home office?

I thought I could resist the test, but I couldn’t.
I thought I had become more left brained, but nope, still right brained.
Very entertaining test.

Tom,
This is a very fascinating topic! Thanks for a most informative link! I, personally, tend to exercise my left brain more than my right–which is why I write mostly non-fiction and can be quite (and perhaps, at times, overly-)–analytical in exploring a topic.
There are times, however, when I enjoy waxing poetic; yet even then, I’m very exacting in my word choice and try to pack as much meaning into every word and phrase as I possibly can. To me, it’s usually all about the details!
Haven’t given too much thought on how to nurture one side or the other (amazingly enough!), so I’ll have to get back to you on that!
Great post!
