Welcome to Dynamic Characters!
A Substack about living as the protagonist, and the trials and tribulations of being a dynamic character (in real life).
Everyone’s a Dynamic Character
Maybe it’s the writer in me, the reader in me, or even the late-night movie watcher in me, but I like to refer to aspects of my life in creative writing or storytelling terms. For example, a new day is a new chapter, every birthday is the beginning of a new season, and dyeing my hair every two months is just a way of customizing my avatar.
All in all, I glorify my life as if I were a movie or book protagonist for shits and giggles. Even though I like to pretend I’m some main character to add some comedic relief to my life, I have to admit, I kind of am… and so are you.
What Is a Dynamic Character?
Dynamic characters, usually the protagonists of a story, are those who develop and grow (for better or worse) as the events of the story unfold. These types of characters may start out with certain perspectives, personalities, attitudes, and belief systems, but those things are challenged and transformed as a result of the experiences they go through.
On the other hand, static characters remain the same throughout a story and don’t go through any significant internal changes.
Why This Newsletter
A dynamic character is the most realistic type of character because their nature and development mirror our own. We also change and develop as we go through life events and interact with the diverse people and things we encounter along the way.
We are multifaceted and flawed. However, those flaws and varying aspects of ourselves are what make us who we are, who we were, and who we’ll be.
I’m not going to lie; starting this newsletter is more for myself than anything else. Sometimes I feel the need to pick at my thoughts in order to process them, and writing does the trick. Other writers on this platform have inspired me, so maybe I can inspire someone else. I’m not going to talk about a specific niche in this newsletter because I want to talk about everything.
So….
Dynamic Characters is a newsletter filled with my observations, opinions, and musings about different aspects of life through the lens of a reader, writer, avid media consumer, and certified real-life dynamic character.
