Once you have completed or at least started the outline(s), it is time to create your characters more fully. I have provided a character bio template for convenience. This will help round out your characters and make them more believable. With main characters it is important to give the impression that all a person need do is walk out their front door in order to meet them in real life.
These make for the best main characters and readers will love or hate them as you see fit to portray them. I have also provided an additional 200 questions to ask yourself or your character in order to help round them out more fully. Pick and choose freely (and wisely), you don't have to use them all.
Once the character(s) is complete, it is time to do a little research (internet, library, and/or bookstore). This will help with any terms you feel necessary for what your writing about. It will help make the world, characters, cultures, and other creations in the story have a more 'plausible possibility'. I highly recommend keeping track of where you collect the research from in the event you may need to reference it again at a later date.

Kurgu OlmayanI have done a considerable amount of research over the years in order to improve my writing abilities. Decided it might be a good time to share them with all the writers on Wattpad. I hope it helps. Enjoy!
