Pencil Tips

I'm going to show you one of the most useful things I've learned for creating a good character.  I found this in one chapter in the book "Writing Magic".  It shows a list for figuring out your characters.  I'm probably confusing you because all that's coming out of my mouth is words.

But I took that list and I tweaked it a bit for my liking and now, whenever I want to improve my characters, I open this file and fill it in.

See:

There, you just have to fill in the blanks.  Does your character have curly hair?  Maybe he/she is bald! What do they keep in their pockets usually? A charm?  Dirty old tissues?  Every detail tells you a little bit about your character.  Make your characters as complex or simple as you wish.

Most of all HAVE FUN!  :)
