Critically for me, I also detail the character's conflicts and change.

Apart from their name, I note their role in the story, position in society and their goal and motivation. Summaries, conflict and changeįront and centre, I create a summary page to highlight all the essential ingredients of writing character-based fiction. Since I don't own Microsoft Word, however, I did the formatting in Apple's Pages app. Scrivener's rich-text controls (especially for tables) aren't great, but the app does a pretty good job of importing a formatted word document. I decided to keep the original document in markdown format, but then use a word processor to style it. My original template was in markdown, leftover from the bleak two-year period when I wrote exclusively in Linux. I decided it was time I updated my character templates, both to reflect the different genre, and the way I know approach character design. However, the last time I wrote a novel was back in 2017, and that was a modern techno-thriller. Now that I've decided to rewrite The Weaver's Boy as a full-length novel, I need something a little more robust. When I wrote my first two novellas, the scope of the story was small enough that I could juggle the characters in my head.
