Page 66, exercise 6 It took me ages to find the main character in my first book. I looked for inspiration everywhere. I had sketched out an idea for the story, but I couldn't develop the plot until I knew who I was writing about. In the end, I saw an interview on TV with an amazing teenager who had rescued a child from a river and I used the teenager as a model. It's really important to create interesting characters. Without them, the story doesn't really come to life. People ask me if I draw on my own experience when I write. I do. I think most writers do, but I don't use real events. Writing is a job, soI get up early every day and start work at 7.30. I work better early in the day. I find I start day dreaming after a few hours and not about the story, so when that happens I go for a walk. The best advice l ever received is to get feedback on my work. It's so important. You need other people to tell you where the story gets boring or when a character becomes unbelievable. It's advice everyone should follow.​
