Hello All:
Working on a draft with the goal of making room to better develop character relationships.
I'm using FD10 and the Character Reports to beat out the characters side by side in an excel sheet to visualize their journeys to determine where I might be able to consolidate characters. IOW, looking to close gaps between when we see one character and the next time we see them, trying to consolidate the "function" of two (or more) characters into one.
So, that's the task. I'm interested in hearing from those who care to offer advice. Do you have tips and strategies that work for you to accomplish these kind of goals? What are the tips or common factors you look for in characters when combining them?
I know it's difficult to offer advice with so little information. I'm looking for tips on processes and steps I might/should consider that will help prevent getting bogged down and frustrated.
Grateful for any advice.
