Also if these are going to be pretty true to life, you are going to want to get permission to write about these people.

I agree in writing it as a short story first.authorswrite wrote: ↑15 Mar 2018, 19:23 Why not write short stories of each sibling? Then you can decide about a book. The short stories could be an impetus to help you settle this in your mind too.

It might be good to start making notes of which stories from their lives you would like to pick, and then you can look out for themes etc. Its also worth doing some mind maps and such just to plan out the main details of each story, and to see how much crossover there would be between them (e.g. does each story involve other siblings within it, or are they just about the protagonist and not other family members).
It might be useful to draw up a family tree, as this could help with your planning but also help the reader to understand the family dynamic better.
Good luck!
