I hope that the new W&A website encourages more activity from members. Looking back through discussion threads, I see that the most popular posts are more than a few years old. The more that members contribute will encourage others to actively participate.

I’ve been thinking a lot about characters recently - the characters in my own book of course, but great characters from the books I loved reading too.
 

There are so many I love, and each of them are different, even within the same genre. Harry Bosch, Ray Mason and Tom Thorne may both have led police procedural series but each man has deep rooted issues that have shaped them in different ways as their lives have progressed. That’s due to the phenomenal writing of Michael Connelly, Simon Kernick and Mark Billingham, but also due to the way characters evolve. 
 

I have written an article describing how this NAWE coaching can help writers weather the pandemic. Pease see 'Writing in Education', Winter 2020, issue 82.
