one problem that i've struggled with in my career as a hobbyist writer is communicating character personalities. when i write a character for the first time, i have a hard time delving deep into their psyche's and usually just give them a generic personality that fits their purpose in the story.
i've heard that writing character sheets is a good way to solve this issue, but that's not what i'm looking for. i would rather spend time learning a character's personality as i write them, instead of brainstorming for hours on end, which makes me lose interest in writing pretty fast.
so basically my question is a two-parter: what is an effective way (besides character sheets) to develop a character's personality, and what are some effective ways to convey a character's personality in writing?
