Character Arc Worksheet
If you’ve ever gotten halfway through a draft and thought, “Wait… what’s actually changing for this character?”—this worksheet is for you. It’s designed to help you track your character’s emotional journey from who they are at the start to who they become (or don’t become) by the end. Whether they’re on a heroic rise, tragic fall, or standing their ground with a flat arc, this will keep their growth (or glorious lack thereof) clear and intentional.
Use it to map out their flaws, beliefs, wounds, and those big “aha” moments that shape their story—and make your readers feel something.
