: Re: How do I find logical errors in my novel? I have completed writing a novel and have revised it many times. I am very worried that I may have made some logical mistakes, like not revealing

This is one of the methods I use for characters.
Each character has a separate page (you can do this in a notebook, jotter, online using onenote etc) and I note the following:

parents
position
partners
siblings
children
appearance

hair colour
hair length
eye colour
other distinguishing features

any other info worth noting

I like to have this for every character who appears and is named in my writing, and when it comes to descriptions or references to family, I have my reference.

(Note that this is my method, which may not work for everyone, however feel free to if it does work.)
