Women in WW2 at home in Britain had their lives turned upside down. Anna Parker-Naples shares her research and creative writing process as she creates her first novel based on events that happened in her home town Leighton Buzzard, Q-Central and nearby Bletchley Park. From the factory girls at Gossards who made the parachutes for Spitfires, to the Land Girls who fell in love with POW's and the WAAF's and WRN's billeted in the town alongside thousands of East End evacuees, Anna's intention is to share the bits that inspire her work, but may not get included in the final manuscript. As a writer on the prestigious Faber Academy writers course, Anna will share the journey from idea, to first draft, revisions, the search for an agent and traditional book publishing deal, and beyond. With interviews with fellow writers and established authors, and with historians who specialise in the Second World War. If you would like to follow this journey, go to www.annapn.co/ww2

06 Getting Inside the Character

Before you can write the story of a character, you must have thought of what the character is like. You need to tell the story in a way that portrays its past, present and future without losing the attention of your readers. Today I'll be talking about the importance of getting inside the character you wish to write about. I'll also be sharing my learning experience on the path to become a novel writer.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:

- My experience on the journey to becoming a better writer

- What it takes to get inside the character of the story you want to create

- The challenges I faced while learning to balance each character of a novel

- The importance of receiving constructive feedback on your writing journey

I've realised that there's no such thing as a perfect writer, but there's always room to become better at what you do. A good writer will see a mistake and find a way to correct it instead of giving up. With an open mind and a structured idea of your book, you'll be on your way to create a well-written novel.
