The outer conflicts--when two complex personalities wrangle--is a much bigger challenge to write, I think.<br /><br />Mary: so many negotiations are mixed, but you're so right that manipulation is always a complex use of negative force plus "positive" cajoling.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-20852133372051239792010-04-02T11:14:56.369-04:002010-04-02T11:14:56.369-04:00It's the manipulator that is the hardest to de...It's the manipulator that is the hardest to deal with. He uses strategies from both columns and until you see him for who he truly is and what he's trying to do, you believe his lies.

In my other post, where I analyze a conversation, it's interesting to see how the less powerful Bilbo uses more negative tools, and the more powerful Gandalf uses mostly positive tools.<br /><br />Talli: Thanks. There are probably other ways folks try to get their way in interactions as well.
