A Lois O asked Lois Lowry:

Hi! This is such an honor! I love your work. Have you felt like some characters just wrote themselves? What are some of the characters you feel even influenced you? P.S. My name is also Lois. ^-^

Lois Lowry Nope, they don't write themselves! I work hard to create them! But they do begin to feel very real to me. I always hate saying goodbye to them when a book ends.
