Planning the first part of the build-up of 'The Highwayman'

The purpose of the build-up is to introduce key characters and storylines that will grow throughout the plot. Writers can use figurative language, poetic devices and ambitious adjectives to engage the reader and create atmosphere. A compound adjective is two words joined using a hyphen to form one adjective. Understanding characters' thoughts and feelings enables us to write in greater depth and bring characters to life.
