This page will be the index for my series of blog posts on using my character template to create and flesh out characters.
The blog-posts on how to use the template are publicly accessible, but the template itself is only available to subscribers to this blog. Subscribe now to gain access to your very own copy of the template that you can customize to suit your own style.
Now, before I dive into the nitty-gritty of character creation, let me give you a little background on this versatile tool. The character template I’ve created is a quick guide designed to help us structure well-rounded and engaging characters for our stories. It covers various aspects, from physical descriptions and personality traits to motivations, personal goals, and emotional growth.
But why use a template, you ask? Well, crafting compelling characters can sometimes feel like a daunting task – like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. This template provides me with a solid foundation and valuable insights as I embark on the writing journey. Additionally, it offers practical prompts and exercises that make the character creation process more manageable and enjoyable.
Here is the Character Template subscribers can access and download.
