My Character Notes, Worksheets and Cheat Sheets || Cast and Character Development

I am sharing all the notes on characters I created during this last month between all the character craft books I have read, as well as the cheat sheets, templates, and worksheets I used. I created these for my own purposes and my future use to build upon, but I hope they might be useful for you to see what I am doing right now as well! I mention what craft books I pull concepts from so you can read more on them if they sound helpful to you!

This was a great video. So fascinating! My little pantser soul would never survive this much plotting, and yet I can still see how valuable it is.

It's probably stuff we all think about at some point! Some of us while writing and some of us beforehand haha or maybe in revisions. Some people just manage it all intuitively which is crazy to me!

Amazing video!

Great video!
I've always tried making concise summaries about topics like character, mixing all the theories from different books into a phew pages. But wow I can't even imagine the hours of hardwork that went into these papers! It all just clicks together!

[@madelinejameswrites]

Thank you! I've found making these has been really helpful for me!
