Snowflake Method Step 3
Snowflake Step 3: Who are your characters?
Recommended time: 1 hour per major character
For each character, create a summary sheet covering the following:
The character’s name
A one-sentence summary of their storyline
Their motivation (their abstract desire)
Their goal (their concrete desire)
Their conflict (which stops them achieving their goal)
Their epiphany (what they will learn during the story)
A one-paragraph summary of their storyline
For all steps from now on, finish this by seeing if you need to revise anything you’ve already created.
Tip: If you want some help with characters, there are lots of resources in the Preptober character week.
