Your writing about the human description is palpable. I just wanted to say that so well done. Emotions drip from the page. We have all been in "that room" in our lives.
Joel, thank you for taking the time to say this. Writing characters that come across as real, and capturing the humanity in the everyday is probably the most important compass I have for my writing. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I try to write from a place of empathy and I'm so glad that comes across.
"They are sending her in a two-dimensional world of distraction and amusement. The three-dimensional world has not been joy-giving in her experience." I think about this sentiment all the time when I see people constantly watching and sharing videos that seem claustrophobically mind-numbing.
I also really loved this sentence! "....they are for her husband because green grapes are the only fruit he will eat and she is always trying to keep him from getting scurvy and leaving her behind."
There was something very realistic about how the dialogue was conveyed in this, well done.
Appreciate it!
Stephanie,
