Writing Tip of the week – February 20

If you want to write for children, you have to remember – vividly – what it felt like to be ten years old before you grew busy and knowing. What were your fears then? What were your ambitions and losses? Above all, think back to your thirst for adventure and your capacity for wonder, because that’s where the boldest storytelling comes from – the adult who still remembers how to think like a child. Abi Elphinstone

This is also true when writing a memoir or fiction for adults. When you get inside your character, giving them dialogue, thoughts and actions indicative of their generation, gender and age, you create an individual that will pique your reader’s curiosity and keep them engaged in your story till the end.

ENJOY!
