Minahel asked Darren Shan:

Your books took up a great deal of my childhood. Ever since I ordered the first Cirque du Freak book from a a scholastic book order on a whim, I couldn't get enough of your books! When I wasn't re-reading them, I was scouring the shelves for more. As an aspiring writer, I wanted to ask: What are some tips on making characters feel real and on developing them throughout a novel?

Sean

Sean asked Darren Shan:

Hey Darren, I remember reading many of your books when I was younger, and spending hours reading about the adventures you created. I was just wondering how many hours you would prescribe a writer to write each day to master their skills?
