This week prompt:
How do you keep track of your cast of characters?
I actually draw my characters in sketch books. Since I write my stories in notebooks I end up sketching in them too.
Do this to get a better visual of what each character looks like. Getting an ideal of their hair and eye color as well as their height and what they wear can help shape the characters personality.
I also do character profiles where I write down every detail about a character and them a whole backstory
Only bits of these details will be written in a book. With each book and short story a character appears in, more detail from their file will be written in.
