Readability Test
Contents Readability Tests Gunning Fog, Flesch Reading Ease, and Flesch-Kincaid are reading level algorithms that can be helpful in determining how readable your content is.

Je suis certaine que vous connaissez tous ou presque cinq ou six personnes qui ont un projet de scénario (ou de roman, recueil de nouvelles, traité philosophico-culinaire…) « dans un coin de cerveau » et ne manqueront pas de profiter des prochaines vacances, c’est juré, pour s’y mettre. Enfin ça c’est ce qu’ils répètent tous les six mois sans que le chantier avance. Peut-être êtes vous d’ailleurs dans ce cas? La vérité c’est qu’amasser des dizaines de débuts d’histoires et le double de pitches mirifiques, ne feront pas de vous un auteur professionnel. Si vous souhaitez vraiment devenir auteurs, amis lecteurs, il faut vous y mettre, tout de suite, et sérieusement! Je compare souvent l’écriture professionnelle à un sport de haut niveau: on n’y parvient qu’à force de pratique quotidienne et l’inspiration est un muscle qui a besoin de séances d’échauffement afin de travailler à plein régime.

Character Trait Chart Character Trait Chart and Personality Components It can sometimes be helpful to make a Trait Chart for each character. This is especially helpful during the early stages of character development, before the character becomes as real to you as your mother. To use this chart, print it out and make a copy for each of your characters. Full name - a character's name is very important. Besides the character's official name, we also need to know what he is called (and, perhaps, what he prefers to be called). Date of Birth/Age - we should carefully consider assigning our character a birthday. Address - this can be as detailed or as vague as you wish, but it should answer a few questions: does the character live in a large city, the suburbs, a small town or deep in the country? Height - this doesn't need to be specific. Weight/Body Build - again, we don't really need to know a character's exact weight, only if he or she is stocky, slender or "had a figure that . . ." Smell - everyone has a smell.
