Even if you are not writing a series, a character profile is a great way to get to know your characters. Why bother? To make your characters more alive and it will be easier to crawl back into your world.
Keep it digital or go old school by making a folder or shoe box full of mementos and lists.
You can use anything to make up the profiles, but here are some suggestions to get you started:
Name
Age
Appearance
Job
Goal in life
Biggest Fear
Talents (good at talking to strangers)
Hobbies (plays an instrument)
Family
Friends
Rivals
Pets
A music playlist
Photos of favorite things or places
List Favorite:
- band, tv show, movie, book
- meal, candy, drink
- makeup, clothes, hats, shoes
- phrases or words
In short: spend time day dreaming and brainstorming about all your characters.
