I spent about a week on Doctor Temiar&#8217;s office only to find that you&#8217;ll never even see parts of it since the final shots worked better if I concentrated on one side of the room.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">That&#8217;s because here I&#8217;m continuing something I&#8217;ve played with in the <em>Clockwork Book<\/em> illustrations, which is to (often) follow the rules of continuity editing as we go from page to page. I&#8217;m not welding myself to those rules; in fact with an interactive story like <em>TWO BRAINS <\/em>it&#8217;s sometimes impossible, or at least unusually difficult; but I&#8217;m trying; and  I am also indulging, I see, in a large number of semicolons; this is due, I am sure, to the fact that I&#8217;m re-reading Patrick O&#8217;Brian&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26redirect%3Dtrue%26ref_%3Dsr_tc_2_0%26keywords%3DPatrick%2520O%2527Brian%26field-contributor_id%3DB002BLL3ZC%26qid%3D1310387415%26sr%3D1-2-ent%26rh%3Di%253Astripbooks%252Ck%253APatrick%2520O%2527Brian%23&#038;tag=webomator-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aubrey and Maturin books.<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Whew.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Anyway this is part of Gwen&#8217;s main branch in the story, which soon after this point splits again into two additional branches in that branchy way these things happen.
