Character Chart

I found this which is useful when starting a new novel. I've always used this method, as I find it helps when working on characterization in scenes.

Character Chart

One thing I do want, but can't find, is a balloon chart showing character relationships, as my books are tangled webs and it's hard remembering who knows who, and how. I'll probably have to knock one up myself. If I do, I'll post it.

  1. Nice tool! I might have to try that when I start a new project.

    For character relationships, sounds like Inspiration would do what you want (and more), but it costs $$. There's probably something similar out there on education websites. Try searching phrases like "graphic organizers".

    If you want to look at Inspiration just to see what I mean, check
