Had to add this Cambridge Classic to "Raven!" The Plough and Stars is still a local favorite.

Some characters take shape slowly, spiraling from backstory into action as the stakes rise.
I’ve been thinking about how complexity builds — chapter by chapter, challenge by challenge — and what makes a character feel truly alive. https://bit.ly/4n8maij

Plot twist: The book doesn’t write itself. In this blog, I’m taking a look at the difference between how I think I write and how it really goes down.
(Spoiler alert: It involves brick walls, rewrites and a lot of humbling moments with the delete key.) https://bit.ly/4l4cP97
