moving character ideas
Every story starts with an idea, but it is the characters that move this idea forward.
real character people
I never base characters on real people - you can get into so much trouble that way!
character facts shut-up
They [my characters]speak to me all the time! In fact some of them never shut up!
book character historical
I am thrilled when I read about fans using my stories as springboards to read about either the historical characters or the myths and legends in the books.
writing character people
I am of the generation of writers who can get instant feedback from readers within hours of publication. The fan forum is extraordinary - readers from all over the world coming together to discuss, argue and debate scenes and characters from a novel. They add a layer to the story that I cannot write and yes, I will participate in that conversation and answer questions. After all, they are the people I'm writing for and their enthusiasm and questions really pushes me to raise the bar.
character sitting alive
Most writers, I'm afraid, live very boring lives sitting in front of a screen. However, having said that: every writer puts a bit of themselves into the characters to bring them alive.

My goal is to turn the lives around for some youths. Hopefully, they can see a different side of the Police Department. Hopefully, they can see that we're human, too, and we're there for the kids and we're there for the community.

We just don't know how this corner lot will be developed. We can't force them to build a driveway before a development comes in. This isn't a public thoroughfare. This is essentially a driveway. When the development comes in, they have a choice as to how they align the drive.
