Character Profile Sheets are very important in writing. And I have created the most awesome one ever. It is a combination of the two I have posted before. It has all the details you would need to define any of your characters. Fill this sheet out and you will know your characters back to front and inside out.

Definitely will use this! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's a little excessive, so when writing, it would be hard to refer to. But that's okay, I just opened up a word document and took out the unnecessary information.
ReplyDeleteMay I link this to my blog today? Great informative sheet.
ReplyDeleteYes, please do!
Deletewhat form should we use? in paragraph form or just fill this up?
ReplyDeleteFill in each point as if your character were answering it. I would use line breaks after each point as it can be a lot of writing and it will make it easier to read later. I have a few character profile sheets on this blog that I've filled out, so check those out too if you get stuck.
DeleteThanks to you I have used this Character format, tweaking it a a little. I've post my own blog on character development with my version of your profile sheet. I have linked to your website and mentioned you, so thank you for your work. this is my blog, so you can see the link - http://archersscribe.wordpress.com/
