  This week, I learned that a character is more than just a name or how they look. They have feelings, dreams, and problems just like real people. What makes them feel real are the little things—how they talk, what they keep with them, or what they’re scared of. For example, Lila’s sketchbook and necklace showed a lot about who she is and what she’s been through. I learned that small details like these help readers understand and connect with a character.

I’ll try to make it connect with the character’s emotions and what’s happening in the story. For example, if someone feels sad or lonely, the place might feel cold, quiet, or empty too. I’ll pay more attention to small details—the sound of rain, the smell of food, or how the air feels—so readers can really imagine being there. I want my set...
