Let Him In
Performance.
That is what is it all about in our world.
I have a new audiobook that I am narrating with someone else. I play and narrate all the chapters labeled for him. Easy so far.
He is a widower, a father, single parent and he's fed up.
Trying to add all the "shades" of this character is tough.
I can relate to the "Father" type because I am a father.
I can relate to being fed up because I have, often, been fed up.
I can imagine what it is like to be a single parent.
I can imagine what it is like to be a widower.
He is fed up, sad, and still grieving and I see him as an open wound.
I am really trying to make this character relatable. There are places in the story where he is briefly happy. There are places where is in a bad place.
You have to remember even in the hardest times, there are shades of light.
I am trying to make him human.
