What are some tips and techniques I can use for developing characters while I'm writing short stories?

firstly you have to think what type of story you were going to write. after words u have to think the name of the character and then try to match that character to the story if the character suits the story then u choose the write characters and one more think you also have to think that the character is playing what type of role in the story.According to that you should take the characters of your story

1. Read, read, and read a lot more. From reading different materials and genre, you will gain some insights on how to develop your own character. Reading is your best teacher.

2. Read some books or articles that provide inputs about the topic.

"Throw a little dirt on the good guy, shine a little light on the bad guy," I once heard an author say. In other words, make them complex! Try to avoid making characters completely good or bad, black or white. You want shades of grey. Flesh them out and think hard about your main characters: what do they look like, what their interests are, goals/motivations, their dirty secrets etc. Perfect characters make for a boring story: the more you treat them like real humans with flaws, the more interesting they'll be - my two cents.

Most importantly, the Tkonnena aware of the language and their structures as well as the rules of grammar, rhetoric , it gives you the most beautiful letters
