"When you're writing a book, with people in it as opposed to animals, it is no good having people who are ordinary, because they are not going to interest your readers at all. Every writer in the world has to use the characters that have something interesting about them, and this is even more true in children's books."

This week on Writing from the Peak:
* Plot from the Middle Linda Rohrbough
* Ten Ways to Jumpstart Your Creativity
in the School Year Jax Hunter
* PPWC Thursday Prequel A.M. Burns
And interesting is usually internal. Dress them up however you want, but plots don't make the characters, their thoughts and actions do.
