Character Profile Worksheet for Novel Writers: Novel Development; Fiction Writing; NaNoWriMo; Writing Advice; Character Creation

Plan your novel with this helpful guide on how to create characters you can almost touch! With questions to help you envisage not only how they look, but how they think, present themselves, and how they are perceived by others. Dig deep and make that abstract cast rattling around in your head a reality — or as good as! 

Not sure who your characters are or what journey they need to go on? Help is at hand. Get my Dig Deep character profile sheet and get to know your main protagonist from the inside out. With this worksheet, you'll find out exactly how your character operates from a psychological perspective and learn how they make decisions. The more familiar you are with their inner workings, the more naturally you will write about them. There's even some writing exercises included at the back of the worksheet for you to try them out in some short fiction.

- 36 pages.

- General and unorthodox questions to help you see your character from new angles.

- Cultural question to help you with basic world building.

- REUSE an unlimited number of times.

- FILLABLE PDF! No need to print. You can type directly into the document and save it under your chosen file name.

- Writing exercises to put your characters into action at the end of the worksheet.

Doing NaNoWriMO? This worksheet will help. From personal experience of someone who has won Nano at least three times (plus CampWriMo with personal writing goals), one thing I've always found is it's much harder to write when you don't know your character. No plot? No problem! When you have so much familiarity with your characters, they lead you where you need to go and drive the narrative. This worksheet will help with that.

And if you also need help with planning your plot, check out my Plotting by Fear and Ambition worksheet and novel writing guide. More than just fancy stationery to fill out, the plotting worksheet guides you through the major events of your plot alongside the crucial emotional responses every character should journey through to create a rounded reading experience for your audience. Fillable PDF, so no need to print!

'...Well-organized and practical. It's cool to see a class about story and character arcs from on emotional perspective.'
