Which fictional character is your favourite?
One of the things I love most about reading is the characters that you get to meet. If you are anything like me, there are many that you wish you could meet in real life.
As a writer, one of the most exciting things is creating the character and getting to know them. Eventually, you hear their voice in your head and they become your friends.
Fictional characters are like having imaginary friends except you can get away with having them even if you’re an adult.
I would love to meet Harry Potter (or if I could be transported into that world then all the better.) I’d also love to have a girlie chat with Bridget Jones and Elizabeth Bennett (so we chat about Mr Darcy of course.)
Which fictional character or characters are your favourite and whom would you like to meet and why?

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.

Book Club
I think it has to be Skeeter from The Help. This was the first ever book I read on Kindle and I absolutely loved it Skeeter was magnificent – her own woman at a time when the expectation for middle and upper class white women in the deep south was marriage, babies and charity work. She was tough, holding her own with what appeared to be some of the most spiteful and bitchy women around. She was also very brave in the way she went about befriending the maids and working with them to get the book published. And of course she was compassionate, seeing how unfair life was for the black population and trying in some way to help them. A good all round heroine!
A great choice. Aside from Minnie, Skeeter was my favourite too. x
I have always thought it would be great to have a conversation with Elizabeth Bennett, Jane Austin’s books were the first books I read for pleasure rather than being forced to read at school, I think if I hadn’t enjoyed them as much as I did I wouldn’t have been so keen to read novels by other authors. Therefore Elizabeth Bennett is my favorite fictional character, mainly for her gumption and quick wit but also for introducing me to a wonderful world to escape to 🙂 she also provided the inspiration for my daughter’s name!
Elizabeth is also my middle name. 🙂
Its a good name lol
