【明報專訊】Emily's story shows us a lot about creative writing. She seems to understand Mr Bean's character very well: he is not stupid or crazy, he is childlike. She understands that Mr Bean treats his teddy like a child would treat his - more than just a toy, but not as real as a living being. Know your characters well. If you don't know what they would do in every situation, how they would act, what they would say, their little habits and opinions, they will not 'come alive' for your readers.
