Yeah, I don't think you need to worry about invented words--it's a snippet! As you say, readers will have been introduced to those words. What someone *can* get, coming to this snippet cold, is Lelo's frustration--liked how you conveyed that ( ... )

hehe. I'm not worried, but in rereading it out of context, I was reminded of many crits I got on the OWW, way back when, in which people complained. :P ( ... )

I love your bat!! Thank you for sharing. I love that you typed me your reply from the balcony--I feel like I'm nearly there with you.

OWW crits were (are?) sometimes worth what you pay for them. I tended to ignore the WTF? comments when I was working on that site.

Perhaps just take one scene and try writing it from a different character's POV? I think until you try it, you won't have a feel for the benefits it might bring you. If you're uncomfortable working in one of your own WIPs, maybe take a story you've set aside, or even someone else's work and rewrite a scene through a different pair of eyes?

I think I need to write a post devoted specifically to this POV thing because I wasn't very clear, trying as I was, to keep the post a little more snippet oriented.
