Save The Cat! Character Sheet
Jessica Brody's book Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: The Last Book On Novel Writing You'll Ever Need outlines the following aspects of a character (Is my Hero story-worthy?):
- A Problem (or flaw that needs fixing)
- Flaws start internally (from that metaphorical shard of glass) and manifest into external problems in your hero/character’s life.
- How is this problem or flaw affecting your hero’s life/world?
- What is causing this problem or flaw? What is the shard of glass? (psychoanalyse the Hero/Character)
- A Want (or goal that the hero/character is pursuing).
- At the start of the novel, what does your hero/character want? What is their goal? (What do they think will fix their life?)
- How has your hero been actively pursuing this goal?
- Why haven’t they achieved this goal yet? (This roadblock can be internal, external, or both!)
- A Need (or life lesson to be learned) (What will really fix their life?)
