I find that, when writing bios, it’s really helpful to look at a list or a chart like the one above. Picking two or three traits from each chart and building a character based around them will give you a really interesting bio, because they will serve as a reminder that characters need depth and dimension.

Independent and clever.

VS.

Independent, clever, pretentious, and stubborn.

The first combination doesn’t come with any flaws, whereas the second will provide a more dynamic character.

Jodi Picoult’s Top Three Writing Tips

Read a ton. Reading will inspire you. It will also help you find out where you belong as a writer.

Write every day. Treat writing as a job. There is no such thing as waiting for the muse. If you want to to be taken seriously as a writer, take writing seriously.

Do not stop in the middle of your first book. Finish it. No matter what. All writers go through this. It’s more of a fear of not being good enough that makes you stop. You think, ‘What if I’m not as good as I thought I was?’ Do not allow it to stop you. If you don’t finish that first book you’re making life difficult for yourself.

Picoult is the best-selling author of 18 novels, including My Sister’s Keeper and Sing Me Home. Her last five novels have debuted at number one on the New York Times best-seller list.

present system is oftentimes the reciprocal.
students’ minds rather full of numbers than of knowledge.

1. You must cry a river.

Just cry it all out. Don’t take it in. It’s painful. It’s hard. And it is heavy so just cry it out loud. Release all the hatred, sadness, regrets, and bad memories. Don’t pretend to be strong, be weak at this point of time. Only at this point.…
