I did this program in 6th grade where my English was writing a "novel" (wasn't that long-only 40 pages or so). Anyeays they had this questionnaire thing a lot like this, in fact almost exactly like it. I still use some of the tips in there too. I love these things, but you're right Snoink-can't get too caught up in making sure characters are picture-perfect.

If you haven't developed your character should you use this or if you are in a writer's block that has to do with your character? Did I explain that alright?

Depends. If you like to outline/know everything before you start a story, then fill it out then. If you have a character-based writer's block, filling out a sheet like this is often helpful. But as several people have said, don't stick to what you've written down ad-verbatum. It's a starting point, and if your characters change, they change!

Uh, Lisa, the whole reason we have elected officials is so we don't have to think all the time. Just like that rainforest scare a few years back: our officials saw there was a problem and they fixed it, didn't they? — Homer Simpson
