Basing Characters on Yourself (Creating Characters Part 1) - How to Article for Kids

One of my favorite parts of writing a story is developing the characters. I get to know my characters so well, that they become my best friends. I even dream about them.

I know writer’s who have based characters on themselves. I don’t do this mostly because I don’t think anyone would want to read about me. What I think is fun is creating a character I’d like to be and putting myself in her place in a story. Pretending I’m her as I write the story and that I’m living the adventure.
