The document provides guidance for creative writing exercises on character development including: 1) Writing a page from the perspective of the opposite gender. 2) Listing subtle ways to suggest a character's age beyond obvious details like wrinkles and gray hair. 3) Choosing character names carefully as they can subtly influence how readers respond to characters. 4) Naming characters on a worksheet while considering how their name provides clues to their role in the story. 5) The next assignment is to write a short story specifying the main character's gender, age, and including a fitting name, without explicitly stating these details.
