My Awesome Grandma
I have the coolest grandma in the world. This is not a point for debate. She it the best. Period.
Grandma Edie is seventy-five, an excellent cook, an amazing gardener, and a multi-faceted volunteer. She is a great listener and an impressive storyteller.
AND she loves Johnny Depp. I told you she’s cool!
When I write I hope to build characters as deep and real as my cute grandma.
Is there anything special you do to make sure characters are well-rounded?

Isn’t real life the best inspiration for our writing? I’m willing to bet that traits of your grandmother make their way into your work often!

Flaws. I like characters that aren’t perfect. . .they’re just so darn appealing:)

Yes! To both of you! My grandma is a great inspiration, and she isn’t perfect. She is the kindest, most wonderful person I know, but she swears like a sailor. Makes her real!!

Flaws are definitely essential for creating characters that feel real.
And as to the coolest grandma… I think you might have a lot of people calling that into dispute with stories of their own!
