Need help organizing the notes on your characters? Need ideas for creating a more fleshed-out character? I have created a Writer's Character Sheet inspired by character sheets for role-playing games. It contains sections for Basic Info, Appearance, Traits, Personality, History, Flaws, Weaknesses, Ideals/Goals, Character Role, Relationships, and Timeline in Your Work. This post can be paired with my "Creating Characters" post as the information there can help you fill in these sections. Feel free to download this file and share it with others. It is a front and back sheet, black and white.
If you're having trouble filling some of these sections out, check out my post Creating Characters, as it gives more details to these sections. Personality particularly is a very detailed part of a character with a broad range of possibilities. Here is an example using one of the major characters in my novel. (There are spoilers on the back page!) Let me know in the comments what you think! Did it help you? Are there parts you think it's missing?
Happy character creating!
