We can identify with Frodo and Sam, setting off not knowing quite where they are going and what they are to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Characters are often revealed by the ways they misapprehend others.
I wanted to show those characters discovering it is possible to find common ground, as they make their way through a plotline that I hope is engrossing enough to keep the reader a willing participant.
It always takes awhile to find out who the characters are.
People pitch me the crazy mystery mind-blowing thing all the time. My response is, 'Great, but how do the characters feel about it, and how do we reveal new facets and new dimensions of who they are?'
On a TV show, you don't know where the character is going.
Given what I do to my characters, I'm not sure I'd want to meet any of them.
I won't name any names, but I've done a couple of shows where once the pilot got picked up, the creators openly said, 'I have no idea where we're going.'
Michael Sam will help us, and we'll give him every chance to succeed, and you know what? It's gonna be pretty cool.
Sam is there, Sam has been playing well, he has been doing great in camp.
I was also known as Frodo because I was an early adopter of 'The Lord of the Rings.'
