- For roughly the entire month of February, I worked on character development for the new fantasy novel I am planning. This started off with some serious struggles and roadblocks, but I figured out a system that will work by the end!

Glad to see your breakthrough with the character information. I sure can be a lot to keep everything in your head. Especially when each character has their own detailed character arc.
Yes exactly! Thank you!
Your method is incredibly thorough. I'm so impressed by it.
Thank you!
That really is a chonker of a book!
For real!
Also I feel like the enneagram can be a very useful thing when writing. There’s so much information and so much depth to each of the personalities and despite there being 9 base personalities there’s actually 27 iirc with all the subtypes included. I’m a type 7w8 😁
I love enneagrams! I used those to help with my last project!
Can you do a video on all the craft books that you own/recommend please?
Oh that would be fun! I will work on putting something together!
You forgot to link the ACOUP article stuff.
Yes! Thank you! Added it now 😁
Yeah, Jared Diamond is actually kind of a hack? He has zero background in history, and all his work on the subject is baseless speculation. All my historian friends can't stand the guy.
This video came at such a useful time for me btw! I was just at a writing group meet-up where we were talking all about characters, and it really hit home for me how shallow all my characters are and how much I've been struggling to give depth to them. Glad you figured out a way to make that work, and hoping I can do the same 🤞
