Character Development

Hello the few, the treasured. It has been about a month, partly because the previously overworked, underpaid laptop I had kicked it on me. Incidently, it was something that caused me a great amount of stress and worry as the original manuscript was stored on it. Suffice it to say, I have revived it from the ashes and am now backing up my work to a separate source.
This time I thought it would behoove me to focus a little on Griffan, our unsung hero. In a small hilly town he spends his days in the fields with fuzzy little sheep-like animals. He is a shepherd of sorts and has a solitary social circle. There is one close friend but that is all. She and he spend much of their free time together roaming the hillside and playing songs. It is difficult sometimes to imagine oneself as a loner or perhaps an outcast growing up unless you actually have felt these things, but Griffan has found peace in his solitude with his friend and his mother. Much of Griffan's character is driven by his relationship with his mother and this longing for closure as to his father's life and death. There is much pressure to be good in everything in order to honor his father's memory and to find the answers to all the riddles left behind in his wake. With each chapter I hope to reveal more layers of not only Griffan but to other characters as well with an intent at creating a bond between the character and you, my readers.
Thank you... more to come.
