Character Profiles

This is something that's a lot of fun to do, just look it this post because it's like a game. For writers. A writing game!!! Now that I have you reading  I can explain to you about what I'm going to tell you. Some of the more experiences writers may know what this is, and I bet you all a guess something pretty close to it. Character profiles are good for all your characters and they're fun to do, they help you get to know your characters better and all sorts of stuff. :)

Online there are many character profiles, which are fun to use but I want to make my own. If you don't want to use mine (which is perfectly fine) then here are the links to some that I think are pretty good.
