Character Birthdays

I've found a fun way to keep in touch with characters and their updates is to keep a list of their birthdays readily at hand. Seeing as we are approaching a New Year very shortly, I see fit to start birthday-ing fairly soon.

Anyway, the first step I like to take is completing the character profile thing I posted back in October:

Once your characters are fleshed out and you have the dates of their b-days, you can save them in a notepad document (or scribble them on a sticky note or whatever. Don't judge me, I have no sticky notes!!!)

Aaaanyway, once that is done, it should look something like this: (alphabetical order) [random names, I swear I don't use such mundane tags on characters]

Aaron - December 1; Abel- August 7; Betty - November 28; Corey - November 3

Etcetera. Or, it can look like this:

January - [list of characters whose birthdays are in this month]
February - [list]
March - [list]
April - [list]

And so on. January 1st marks the 18th birthday of January, one of my more recent characters. I hope to do something nice for that, and then look readily forward to the rest of the year and all the birthdays that come with it. Shew.

Anyway, so long and thanks for all the fish. Hope you had fun with this post.
