A Lesson in Character Development

Hello my friends,

I hope you guys have been having an awesome week. My week was actually fairly boring. I spent the week doing my normal routine and working on my various projects. I’ve been making progress on these different projects and am excited by the direction they are going. I’m hoping that these projects are go well. There are only a few of my projects that I’m worried for and the path they are going on. These projects are hitting road bumps that are making the process a bit more difficult. I have faith in these projects and I’m hoping that we can steer them towards the right path. I’m very hopeful for all of my projects. I’m looking forward to seeing how each project pans out.

I fought for this week I’d talk a little bit about character development and how important it is. Yesterday was the fourth episode of season eight of Game of Thrones. The episode has been hit with some major criticism, I even read an article from Buzzfeed stating that it was the worst episode of the show ever. I strongly disagree with that article, the episode was not the worst of the show and in my opinion not the worst of the season so far. The episode did suffer though from poor pacing. The biggest thing that could’ve helped solve this would have been more scenes involving character development. I will warn this may contain slight spoilers but I won’t talk about key points. Two scenes that would’ve helped are small scenes. The first has become a huge point of contention as of late and that would’ve been a scene of Jon saying good bye to Ghost. Another would’ve been a scene of Daenerys with the bones of Viserion. I feel that both these scenes would have reminded us of the humanity in both of these characters and may have helped with pacing. The important thing about character development is to remember it’s not always the big details but the small ones. Every little detail can lead to expansion of a character and the connection to the audience. These can also help with providing meaningful filler to help jump gaps. Please let me know what you think and I’d love to discuss with you about this.

Well till next time you guys. I hope you have an awesome week and I hope to have more news for you soon.
