Some writers prefer to go even more in-depth into character analysis than my Character Development section allows.  Some writers like to have really detailed knowledge of their characters, and for those writers I provide this list of questions to use in character development.  Others may want to fish through here in search of a question or two that may be useful for the specific story they are working on.

• Is your character right or left-handed?





• Does your character wear glasses, or contact lenses?





• What about weight?  Shoe size?  Clothing size?





• What is your character's favorite color?  Favorite song?





• What does your character think is his/her best feature?  Worst feature?





• Is your character's handwriting neat and precise, or sloppy and unintelligible?  Does your character care?





• What kind of car does your character drive?  Is it neat and usually washed, or cluttered and "lived-in"?





• Does your character have a collection of anything?





• What is your character's attitude toward money?  Is your character a bit of a spendthrift, or prone to spend freely?





• What are your character's hobbies?





• What are your character's talents?  Do his/her friends routinely call him/her when they need help in a certain area?





• What is your character most proud of?  Most embarrassed about?





• Does your character donate to any charities?  Play the stock market?  Gamble?  Pay child support or alimony?





• Who are your character's heroes?
