Ah, yes, that sounds familiar. A few stage directions, a motivation, and then watch them go at it. Come to think of it, most of my characters seem just as crazed 'backstage' as the theater people I've known.
I do find it interesting that writing in lj has changed my story-writing style. My latest fic writing phase started out extremely dialogue-based. Now, the extent to which I indicate action in my own textual life *waves hands demonstratively* seems to have translated to my characters as well. It's a curious thing to track.
