On Friday, 3/18 we were very fortunate to participate in a writing workshop with Margaret Peterson Haddix, the author of Dexter The Tough, The Girl with 500 Middle Names, the Missing series and many other books.  She talked about how to develop characters in your stories.  What did you learn from her that you think is important to remember?  How do you think she applied her ideas for character development when she wrote Dexter The Tough?  How can you use what you learned from her in your next story?
