It’s almost October, which means it’s NaNoPrep time!
For those not in the know, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month and those who participate undertake the goal to write 50,000 words in November. October is traditionally the month of preparation and is commonly called PrepTober or NaNoPrep.
Part of my prep process when starting a story is to fill out a character profile for every character. Over time I’ve developed this template that I complete for every main character and at least partially fill in for every tertiary character. And now I’m sharing it with you! Enjoy!
