Introduction

 The following pages are exercises undertaken for the Future Learn course "Starting to Write Fiction", nothing more, nothing less.

I have written since I was a small girl. I not only wrote the books, I typed them up and bound them too. The only thing I didn't do was sell them!

That early confidence has since evaporated and although I still love to write I feel my writing has short comings, not least that my characters are rather flat. I have come to this course to try and improve this aspect of my writing.
