I caught this BBC Schools Radio programme thanks to a bout of insomnia.
How to create exciting plots and characters
Aimed a young writers I found it thoroughly entertaining, especially when the writer telly us how he gets things wrong. I think I will be looking out for the next episode...
It may be only available within the UK...

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing. I remember doing creative writing when I was young and I got docked points for putting in random lava that killed a couple people. Yeah, real lava at a theme park that conveniently showed up when people had to die. Isn't that how stories work? lol The brainstorming in the radio clip reminded me of that.

Random Lava... I've only ever met the hot-glowing kind...
I loved how the kids went straight to a Horror story...
Sweet and innocent? I don't think so...
