Do you like to write strong characters who drive the action of your stories and novels?  Or is a plot-driven story more in your creative wheelhouse?  How about what you like to read: a great character, or a surprising plot?  Or both?
          	
          	This week on the Fiction School Podcast, we tackle the tricky work of writing great characters, using them to drive your story, avoiding stereotypes, and the alchemy of character and plot that makes for a great story.  Hope you'll check it out!

Helloo! You probably won't read this but I hope you will because I'm a big fan of yours [: I'm not quite sure how to word this but... I was hoping if maybe I can read The Play's The Thing since I've been dying to read it since, let's say, 4 months ago, but then it turned out that you weren't going to post it and that I have to buy it - which I totally would, I'd even buy a million copies if I could because you're just that great, except that my parents don't let me buy stuff off the internet and I can't really afford it. Pretty please? It's my birthday today, too [:
          I'm so sorry if I bothered you x
          Stay wonderful!

@xalaska Ha! No way--I'm just glad to be somebody's favorite author! :)  I've got some other things I gotta do, but I'll get the .pdf together after that and get it to you really soon--tomorrow at the latest, probably!
            
            Alright, thanks for your help with the Goodreads review!  So glad to be your favorite author!!!!!

@bakerlawley Done [:
            A .pdf would be absolutely perfect! My birthday was great, thank you so much for asking. I hope you do realise that you're officially my favourite author and I'm going to stalk you to death and read all of your books. 
            
            
            
            Did I scare you away?

Aargh.  Stupid Amazon!  OK, how about Goodreads, then?  That should be cool, I think--anybody can join there.  Here's Stealing the Show on there:
            https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18032569-stealing-the-show
            
            And while we're at it, what kind of file type would you like for The Play's the Thing?  I have .mobi, .epub, or I can put together a .pdf with no trouble!  (I can show you apps to read all these with, too, if you don't have them already!)
            
            How was your birthday?  Hope it was awesome!
