Hello Mr. Gibbs I already wrote to you on your website but I do not know if it went through or not. I am in middle school and trying to write a novel of my own. I am writing to my favorite authors to see if any of them can help me. I want to know how to develop a plot and characters? I also really want to know how to make my novel longer? I want to know how to stretch it out and make it longer? Thank you.
