Character Profiles
by alex
many times an inexperienced writer will get someone- a friend, family member, neighbour- to read their work. and it its not uncommon for the reader to have trouble following the characters motives, personality, interests etc.. a good way around this, is to create a profile of each character. it can be avoided with minor characters, if they are only seen once or twice, but recurring and main characters are not believable and a reader won't feel connected to a character (can be very important) if they are continually changing and there is no continuity in them. a character profile can take many forms, it can be something like: "name: lucy age: 17 gender: f interests: sports, technology.. " you get the point or it can be "luke; witty impulsive annoying loud smart sarcastic want to save the world, protects lucy" anything to keep the characters personality and motives together, everyone prefers different ways of doing it
