The fan mail I've collected about my books has all been about how someone connected with my character because it reminded them of themselves, physically, emotionally, and sexually. So I'm inclined to think that to get the kind of connection that you speak of, you just have to be true to a character and someone out there will connect with it, but not everyone. It is the rare person that can do so on a broad scale. A theory might be that you have a better chance at doing so if your characters are very young and obviously written for the very young, because at that point, most children want/desire the same thing. The older your protagonist gets, the older your audience gets, and the more specific the traits are thereby winnowing down your ability to connect.<br /><br />It's just a theory, but one that I believe in.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-10548414292506124542014-11-02T21:36:29.770+00:002014-11-02T21:36:29.770+00:00@dolorah - thanks, presentation is key (my dad tel...@dolorah - thanks, presentation is key (my dad tells me).<br /><br />@Lilith - love is hard.<br /><br />mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-21454964791872739402014-10-29T21:47:50.079+00:002014-10-29T21:47:50.079+00:00This sounds really difficult to do in a book.

As you say Moody, sometimes the writing isn't as good or too trendy.<br /><br />I enjoyed the theme of this post.

All my WIPs have been different. Maybe I'll figure it out eventually.
