There are a lot of ways to create characters, but one technique we’ve found that has not only fantastic results but also helps with character arcs is using Enneagram personality types! Wait. What are Enneagrams?

Discover just what the nine Enneagram types are and how you can use them for your characters is what this episode is all about. Well, that and we might just have a little bit of fun too!

To learn more about Enneagram personality types check out https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-descriptions

And, as we mention in the show, we cover this in much greater detail in our soon to be released book Plot Development: An Outlining Method for Fiction which you can pick up on preorder (and at a discount!) at https://books2read.com/Plot-Development
