Mark Haysom, author of Love, Love Me Do, talks to Novelicious website about his experience of writing a novel and the inspiration… 

behind Love, Love Me Do. “One of the things I didn’t fully realise when I first started writing is that you have to try to know your characters almost as well as you know yourself, you have to let them possess you. For me it all begins with characters.”

“So I do a lot of thinking before I begin. And then I try to plan the whole novel: I create a spreadsheet, a chapter plan. This helps me to get the overall shape of it. But I leave enough that is half-formed or sketched only hastily in my mind for those surprises to emerge.”
