“Then how do I know that you have your eyes covered and I love the vest you’re wearing?”
“Because you’re looking at me.”
“Well not necessarily, love is blind.”

It is super easy to become disgruntled when you’re a writer. Feeling as if you’re falling behind or you’re not performing as well as others. However, here is a little advice to keep you going.
Believe in yourself!
You can do this!

Hey there!
I’m Genis and this is a character template that I took the time to make for any aspiring creator who needs a fast and easy way to keep track of their character’s development. Most characters tend to change from when they are first designed and/or meet their writer. The world changes them and they become someone new. This is a way to keep track of what progress was already made and to add onto it.

Don’t write to entertain someone else, leave that to an entertainer.
Write because you want to see something that has never been done before in the history of anyone!
A story made by you!
