How "how I met your mother" relates to my thesis

There is a certain truth to the adage, "A heart skips a beat" to refer to the heart's action when they are in love. I was first reminded of this as I watched an episode of "how I met your mother" where Barney FINALLY has an inkling of romantic feeling towards someone else. Interestingly, that episode was playing as I was working on my research on heart rate variability (HRV).

As I'm writing my novel I wonder....

The characters in a novel reflect the inner workings of a writer. From the most mundane to the most interesting, each character encompasses different characteristics from the inner workings of the writer's mind. And so, sitting here in my desk, I see a writer now distilling their love into their character, making such character a lover. Their rage, on a stroke of anger, is scribbled into the description of the antagonist. And random facts and fillers, are given to the background characters. Those characters that don't make much noise, but whose actions scream from each line of the written page.
