Start with the writing problem
A character sheet records who Mara is and what she wants. A story bible also records locations, objects and world rules. A relationship records a connection: Mara owes the lighthouse keeper a favor, but suspects him of hiding the letter. After Chapter 3, update the connection to uneasy cooperation and link the change to the chapter.
A workflow you can keep using
- Create character references with motives, background, and current goals.
- Organize connections in the relationship graph and describe what each means.
- Consult characters and chapters in the same novel, then update references when the story changes.
