In Ann Whitford Paul's Writing Picture Books: A Hands-On Guide From Story Creation to Publication, I learned about the value of doing a character study. I have always written from real life, so creating a character from my imagination is challenging and exciting. Even though the main character's father doesn't appear in the story (at this point), I included him in the study. I discovered that my MC takes after him rather than the mother who is part of the story. In light of what I learned doing the character study, I made my first revision of the pb manuscript. Writing is work, but this part has been fun.
