![]() ![]() And I finally get the first batch of notes back from my editor and one of the big notes she gives me is, “I think we need to work on your main character. So, I send the finished manuscript in to editing and I wait. She felt more real, more genuine, much more like me than any character I’d written before. While every character of mine has little bits and pieces of me, none of them are me, but this one? She thought like me. ![]() I didn’t admit it to many people, just one or two of my closest friends, but I felt she was the first character I’ve written who was very much like me. Anyway, I wrote the book and I was really happy with the main character. You’re closer to that character, you know them better (as the writer) because you’re actually in their head. And when you write in first person, it’s a bit of a different feel. ![]() I won’t tell you which book, but I was writing a book in first person a while back. ![]()
