Getting to Know You

I received an email from my editor yesterday about the Sidney/Sydney books. She said she was putting together the book map/layout (squee!) and wanted to go over a few things with me.

At the beginning of books she wants to include an intro spread on each of the characters. I spent my morning putting together bios and I must say, creating bios of fictitious people (people I created, no less) was an interesting task. I caught myself thinking things like, "Oh, that is so Gomez!" and "That is totally something Sydney would say!" as I typed. It's fascinating to me how much I think of these kids as real people. I hope future readers will feel the same way.
