Today's writer's digest tip of the day says 

"Most writers use some form of character chart as a way to get to know
their characters better. Basically, you're looking for something
that's a cross between a police profile and personal. Keep completed
character charts handy while you're writing; with these charts posted
on your bulletin board or on your computer desktop, you can instantly
find the detail(s) you need."

Do you do anything like this, or keep it all in your head?
