Have you been struggling with a lack of direction?

Maybe you have a character and story idea but don’t know where to start.

Or you’ve been writing a story, but your character isn’t working in the story or doesn’t seem fully fleshed out.

If you want to:

  • Avoid writing cliched characters

  • Develop realistic characters that your audience can relate to

  • Create each character to have a unique voice and personality

  • Portray emotional depth that ties to your character’s backstory and goals

  • Create cohesion between the strengths, flaws, beliefs and goals of your characters

But without:

  • Getting stuck on where to start either because of overwhelm or the fear of doing it wrong

  • Being trapped in analysis paralysis or writer’s block

  • Needing to jump between multiple resources and get more confused or overwhelmed

  • Wasting precious time where you could be developing your idea or writing

If this resonates with you…

And all you want is a guide to help walk you through developing your characters so you can put your energy into your story instead of into the method.

Then this is for you.

INTRODUCING

The workbook that makes it easy

The Character Crafting Companion gives you the steps to develop your characters making them unique, realistic, believable and three-dimensional people, without the difficulty of figuring it out on your own.

What’s inside?

This workbook will guide you step-by-step to develop the key areas of a character’s personality and life through a series of probing questions.

With focus areas like:

  • Personality Traits & Appearance

  • Interests and hobbies

  • Beliefs

  • Passions

  • Strengths

  • Flaws

  • Core Experiences in their life

  • Childhood Memories

  • Relationships

  • Romance

  • Their Character Arc

You will be guided through the focus areas with probing questions that get your creativity flowing.

These save you time and effort in your character development as the questions prompt you to delve deeper.

Questions that have you…

Contextualizing your character to their life, their job and the world they live in - thereby ensuring they are connected to their setting;

Building their beliefs from what your character believes about themselves, to humanity and the world they live in and to morality and faith;

Getting to know your character by defining their boundaries, what they will and won’t do depending on what’s at stake;

Considering the difference between who your character is inside and how they appear to be;

Getting specific so that you connect to the voice and feel of your character;

Asking the ‘why?’ behind the core elements of their personality so that you slowly build backstory as you work through the book.

With reference sheets that support you when you’re stuck or need ideas quickly.

You’ll have these personality trait sheets and the physical trait sheet to keep on hand for a variety descriptive words at a moment’s notice.

A template you can use again, and again, and again, on an endless number of characters.

You will come out of this workbook with:

  • A developed character,

  • A strong understanding of and connection to your character,

  • And with a range of critical perspectives to use when developing future characters.
