48 Questions to Create Characters Who Actually Feel Real

Free Character-Building Questionnaire for Fiction Writers

You know your character's name. You know her history. You may even know what she orders at a restaurant or what she does when nobody is watching.

But do you understand why she makes the decisions she does? What contradicts her beliefs? What makes her behave differently under pressure? And what makes her feel like a person rather than someone you invented to move the plot forward?

The difference lies in the questions you ask.
