In the thread about Ordinary People, I posted the following:
Basically, I think it's important that the reader cares about the character and what happens to them, but how do you achieve this?
For now, I don't have any good, solid advice on this. Instead, at the moment I'm kind of just winging it and hoping that I'm somehow able to establish some kind of connection between the reader and my characters.
I think this is one of those vague, fluffy concepts where it's difficult to give specific advice and you just have to go with what feels right.
What's your take on this? Do you have any tricks for making your reader care, or do you have any insights into how the bond between a reader and an imaginary character is established?
We could take that discussion there, but I think it'd derail that thread a bit so I'm opening this one instead.Now...
How do I make the reader care about Enar?
Well, that's a very good question, and I'm really glad you asked, because it's a great question...
It's also an entirely different topic.
