escaping does that seem like an
impossible task my overactive
imagination and my love for creating
characters combined and created my
escape writing I’m a creative writer and
I write for others for the same reason I
read books to discover new worlds
I read fiction books so I can side with
the characters and if I carry through
them with events I’d never experience in
person however I read mystery books to
work out the story as I go along but
between you and me I’ll read them again
so I know it’s coming David Walliams JK
Rowling and Paula Hawking’s
three authors were three different
targeted audiences volumes rights for
children
Rowling racks for mainly teenagers and
Hawkins writes for young adults an
author will connect their characters to
be out for sympathize with them and make
their own writing better when a reader
then picks up a book they will often
choose a favorite character this could
be for any reason but personally if I
think a character has some traits
similar to me I’ll favor them over
others connections between author and
story and story and reader are crucial
if an author isn’t enjoying the book
they’re writing what’s the point in
writing it I’ve asked myself this very
same question I’ve written stories where
I wasn’t sure what my end goal was and I
was starting to dislike the words
written on the page for a particular
story I later entitled keys this is
exactly how I felt that was until my
friend read it her eyes lit up as she
took in every detail of what I’d written
upon finishing she turned to me and
asked me the question every creative
writer will ever dread to hear what
happens next what was I meant to tell
her that I was about to be everything I
just couldn’t do it
I used her positivity as motivation to
change the story into my vision this is
the short extract from it I gave her a
small hug and walked over to the guitar
she put down earlier it’s a shame you
can’t play I looked over at the piano
and approach it with caution as if as if
it’s suddenly grown poisonous
i sat back down on the piano store
instead at the keys then I heard it the
soft strumming of guitar playing
familiar chords and the soft voice
singing familiar lyrics a familiar
chorus I’m not gonna write you a love
song because you asked for it because
you need one it was a simple love story
about two girls and their connection
through music writing stories with the
genre of romance help me for like
somebody else they helped me feel
special like I said the most important
part of creative writing is a reader
enjoying it and I was curious what some
of my friends thought about my story
writing naturally I asked a few of my
friends to make some comments about it
and this is what they said you had this
way with putting words together that
makes it so wonderful to read you’re
good at catching and playing people’s
emotions these words fill me with
happiness it’s not every day you get to
hear your closest friends compliment you
and then there’s my older sister I love
her to pieces but sometimes she really
annoys me recently however she’s been
complimenting me on my writing this may
be because I have a short story in a
published book or because I have a poem
coming out soon in a teenaged poetry
anthology I’d like to think she brags
about it teen fiction writer John Green
has a unique way of connecting with his
fans on his tumblr page he answers
anonymous messages like any normal
person we treat authors celebrities and
actors as a higher power but they’re
just normal people they go shopping go
on dates fall over sneeze and even go to
the toilet these authors mesmerize us
make us cry make us question everything
yet it’s just words on a page we know
what the characters are feeling yet
they’re almost completely fictional
these words send me to another universe
away from my fears away from my worries
and just away these words that make me
feel loved and protected these words
help me escape thank you to the authors
well then how’d you feel glad I got out
of the way you go to the other way
you’ve been waiting all day
so you you do right so well how do you I
mean we asked the idea the the question
the obvious question for a creative
person where did the ideas come from
where do your ideas come generally I I
find I can write just out of nowhere
generally I find that my ideas and my
inspiration derive from if I have a
really strong emotion and then I kind of
use that emotion and then I wrote one
through an eight page story because I
just had like this one tiny little Fleck
of inspiration it was the emotion that
drove the ages a bit of annoyance but
mainly love and it was just like a story
annoyance it’s all this and when what
emotion do you want your readers what
you want them to do as a feel as a
result of reading your stuff well like I
said I love to write romance and that’s
kind of my thing and I just kind of
generally want people to feel like they
can read what I’m writing and they can
relate to it and they can feel the
emotion the characters are fairly I can
feel they can fit they feel the emotions
of the characters so you create a
genuine feeling in them by made-up
characters yeah on the page I said
that’s quite a skill and if you and do
you ever have them people that you know
like family members and friends you ever
build them into stories sort of subtly
subtly know obviously actually not my
mom but I have written them I usually
write about my friends just because
they’re kind of I’m not I’m not
particularly good at making my own
characters and so I tend to use my
friends and then I use my friends so if
your friend is having a really bad time
that’s good that’s good for you and if
you final question if you had let’s say
JK Rowling in the room and you were you
were able to ask her a question what
would you ask her just how would you do
it because she’s such she’s such an
amazing right and she starts a massive
inspiration to me and there’s
I know it’s a teacher there who
absolutely loves JK Rowling and when I
told her that I had her in my speech she
was like yes and she gave me a hot she’s
bareback bad and just I think I just be
like yeah how’d you do it how do you
write so well how do you write so well
and the question for you how you write
so well as well I think it’s a
tremendous rider she is a published
author and she’s going to go on and be
and write even more with all your
friends having all sorts of very
incidence okay Abigail thank you very
much [Applause]
