New to Writing – How Do You Develop Your Characters?

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

I’m new to writing and trying to develop some solid characters for my stories. I’m wondering, what kind of details do you usually consider when building your characters? Do you focus on things like birthdays, ages, or even zodiac signs to add depth? And if so, how do you decide on them? Do you use any tools like generators, or just make it up as you go? like, i am using random birthday generator for characters to find birthdays and zodiac signs.

I’m looking for some tips on how to create more well-rounded characters, so any advice would be awesome!

Thanks in advance! 😊

I'm not a super experienced writer. But just for fun I make diary entries for my characters. It helps me establish their worldview and personal voice. 

In the diary entry you could go into how their day went, things they're worried or excited about, or drama in their lives. I think it helps me so ya.
