Description
For all types of storytellers, this fun, easy-to-use writer's journal is designed to help you build complex characters from a series of simple questions, with room to brainstorm 15 unique characters.
Bringing a character to life is one of the greatest joys of storytelling... but where to start? It can be daunting when everything seems to hinge on a few monumental questions. What does your character want? What does your character need?
This guided journal is designed to break through that mental block and help you think fast with quick and simple questions. Get your wheels turning with easy, unexpected prompts such as:
- Name one thing you’d find in their pocket.
- Do they have any daily routines?
- Do they like gossip?
Then build off of these smaller details to really get into the meat of your character:
- What is one way they treat their body well?
- How do they work through their thoughts?
- Describe a significant person in their life, past or present.
With more than 40 short prompts per character, you can develop the body, mind, and relationships of up to 15 ready-to-write characters—all in the time it takes to cook a quick meal or watch a sitcom.
A Writer’s Journal for Creating Characters by Chronicle Books provides a dynamic and interactive way to flesh out the nuances of your characters, making your storytelling both engaging and authentic.
