Thanks, just remember that Truth of the Divine is second in a series. I made a video about Axiom's End too ruclips.net/video/FOt5yg8TS1g/видео.htmlsi=N6d0p0sBrGvMTwcq
OK then. Your usual enjoyable narrative with dog. Always a plus. I never read Axiom’s End, so a summary would have been helpful. But I get the general idea. First contact stories are always wishful thinking, because if there are aliens out there with spaceships that want to visit Earth, almost any scenario is believable because we know nothing about them. As you suggest they tend to be not so much about aliens, incomprehensible or otherwise, but about how we react to them. Are they just here to spread divine love? Blow us up? Hit us with a board with a nail in it? Aliens are like monsters; they’re mirrors we hold up to ourselves in a dark room. I was intrigued by April May, the disasterpiece, because I’m dealing with writing about a difficult character. I’m working on the scene where my main character Bonnie is transformed into a paranormal, and I realize it’s hard to write about a very traumatized character without making them seem pathetic. It’s been two years since she was nearly beaten to death in a horrifying place, and she’s still a mess physically, mentally, and emotionally. How do you write a character with that kind of past that audiences will like? How does a character overcome trauma, setbacks, or just being an asshole?
Thanks and good point. I should have at least linked to my Axiom’s End video. Consider reading An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. There are always ways to make a traumatized character relatable in ways large and small. The character can be strong - coping mechanisms work, at least to some degree, but we can also see the character’s weakness in other areas. ruclips.net/video/FOt5yg8TS1g/видео.htmlsi=N6d0p0sBrGvMTwcq
