I keep a folder for each of my series. In that folder I have a sheet with notes pertaining to each story. These sheets contain simple facts on each character - color of eyes, hair, and any scars or tattoos. I also list any pet names, city or area they live. I list details that make my characters individuals, different from other books. These notes are invaluable. If I need a name of a brother, boss, or mother during edits or later books, its there.
For the last few days I've been searching for one of these folders. Of course I found it today right where it should be and where I have looked at least a thousand times. Isn't that how it always goes.
