I am starting them today! Mostly because I want to make my characters better, esp the villain. I'm going to run with an idea that came to me last night regarding him. To do that, I have to do a character profile of him.
I've never done one before, as I've usually just written out what's in my head. I have so many stories that I've started and haven't finished. I'm determined to finish this one, and to do that, this is a way to make it better for the reader.
Now, I have to put my nose to the grindstone, and start them. Hoping it won't take me away too much from my book, but I feel they need to be done!!!
Hey Jessica - I find character profiles hard work too, but it does help when you get part way through a novel and forget something specific about them like their age, house number, habits - I use mine as an easy reference guide for continuity:) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI got some sample ones off of the internet, and will work from them. I'm excited about starting them, as I've actually given my characters this much attention before.
