I’ve had such a ridiculously hard time lately trying to look up old characters, either from half-finished WIPs that I’ve recently picked up again, or from books I plan to publish but need to give a character description for the cover artist to work from. My Google-fu is pretty good, but a text search will only take you so far.<\/p>\n
So yesterday, I put together a rough template for a character sheet. I plan to fill one out for every major character in my WIPs from now on.<\/p>\n
