Character Development

This post is outdated. Since this went live, I have improved my character sheets in this post. Feel free to read this one anyway, but if you wanted help with your characters, I suggest trying my newer post!

Hey there!

So, recently I’ve been experiencing some setbacks with the novel I’m working on, you know, The Secret of Moonflower Valley, and I think it’s because I’m not very well acquainted with my characters. So I thought, “Why not have a cup of coffee with them, or invite them to dinner?” Buuuut since they aren’t really on this earth, that’s actually impossible. So my alternative idea was, “I should make character profiles for them!” That’s more probable. So after a little while, I had exactly what I needed. Character sheets! That way it can be really clear in my mind who is who and they don’t mesh together in a big fat character puddle. And, of course, why not share my genius idea with the world? (Okay, not quite the world, I guess…)
