Dreams, Nightmares, and Fantasies
Dreams, nightmares, and delusions are often used to progress a story. Are there rules for including these? The DRS Crew

Spiderotica? Come on Paul! Enough with the WereBear Erotica, we need Spider/Human porn!
On a more serious note, some things to keep track of when making character notes:
Who does this character know?
What is their relationship with other characters?
Is this character dead, maimed, injured, etc?
What quirks does a particular character have?
The list can go on, but if you can’t remember EVERYTHING about EVERY character, write it down.
I do like Paul with having a file for each character. When I create a new scrivener file, I bring all those across. When something happens that’s key with a character, I copy/paste that into their character profile so I’ll know how certain interactions with other characters went. This gives me 2-5 minutes of reading and I’m up to speed on all the major events that character was involved with.
Great show! Terry! Go take more notes!
