YAY. I'm glad someone is enjoying my fun alien stuff! Cheers.
authors, fall into: non-genuine communication.
People are explainers. They are explainers because they seek to find commonality w/ others. The more difference, the more the urge to explain themselves.
Murry has never been able to communicate w/ anyone. I can understand while he was injured, possibly dying, & suffering in pain, he might not explain he's never communicated before, but now that he's healed & pain free, it's just not realistic he wouldn't explain his past to Kel.
When Kel recreated the group home, I thought you were going to have Murry explain what the group home was & why Murry lived there, but you blew right hy the opportunity.
Authentic communication & dialogue is the basis for a reader's connection to a character. The more realistic a character acts or reacts to situations, the more likely a reader will find commonality w/ a character.
Readers finding commonality w/ characters, & being able to see themselves in characters, or in their situations, more strongly connects them to a story.
