At first glance, this
biographical dictionary had no importance to me as a budding writer of fiction. I don't enjoy reading biographies -- don't ask me why -- and I certainly would not want to write someone's biography.
But then I thought a little bit more about the information presented; e.g. for
David BeckhamThese snapshots of people's lives make an excellent starting point for the following, in my opinion:
- A character profile (obviously)
- A story-line
Even David Beckham who, by most measures, is a very successful man, had his fair share of conflict and obstacles to overcome, some of which can be gleaned from his brief bio.
I suggest (and I'm talking to myself here) doing a random search and seeing what you find.
