Over the last two years, I have been working heavily on the front end of my third fantasy novel for the series, A Royal Life, and I've finally reached the midway section to realise that not only is the ending of the novel going to change once again, but that the tail end of the story is going to be much easier to write. 

Why is it going to be so much easier to write? Because the tail end has a lot less to do with the characters back story. 

It's really tricky to integrate characters back stories without info dumps, so today we're discussing the importance of knowing a character's back story to avoid that and instead create a smoother reading experience for your readers.

Scarlett Marie is a true born creative, who has spent her whole life dabbling in the arts and craft, only to find her feet in the world of words whereby she has spent over fifteen years making stories come alive.

Her time and energy has been mainly spent on the series A Royal Life, of which she started drafting when she was fifteen. 

Here on the 'Diary of a Writer' she hopes to show people a peek behind the door of what it means to live as a full-time creative.
