┌── •• ──┐ 🍭Things to avoid when making character dynamics:🍭 └── •• ──┘
🍭 Forced Chemistry: Avoid forcing a connection between characters. Their interactions should feel natural and evolve organically based on their personalities and circumstances.
🍭 Stereotypical Relationships: Steer clear of relying on clichés or stereotypes when developing character dynamics. Strive for unique and authentic relationships that defy expectations.
🍭 Inconsistency: Be mindful of maintaining consistency in how characters interact. Sudden and unexplained changes in their dynamic can confuse readers and weaken the narrative.
🍭 Lack of Conflict: While characters don't need constant conflict, a dynamic without any tension or challenges may become dull. Introduce conflicts that contribute to character development and plot progression.
🍭 Ignoring Individual Goals: Each character should have individual goals, motivations, and arcs. Neglecting these in favor of the relationship can lead to one-dimensional characters.
🍭 Forgetting Communication: Miscommunication or lack of communication can be a plot device, but it should not be the sole source of conflict. Characters should learn and grow through effective communication.
🍭 Ignoring Backstories: Character dynamics are enriched when grounded in each character's backstory. Avoid neglecting their individual histories, as they influence their behavior and interactions.
🍭 Skipping Development Scenes: Don't skip scenes crucial to the development of the relationship. Whether it's moments of bonding, conflict, or realization, these scenes shape the dynamic.
🍭 Overly Predictable Trajectories: While some predictability is expected, avoid overly telegraphed trajectories for the characters' relationship. Add surprises and twists to keep readers engaged.
