Story writing tips?

I am writing a story that seems to be turning into a soap opera! Anyways, I need some tips to continue writing. I, of course, remember the relationships between characters, but my friends read it and say “Who is _____ again?” How do I keep them from forgetting without repeating it over and over again?

I find it helps if I write down the names of my characters on note cards. One character per card with the name and other critical information.

Then as you write your story, you will be able to go back through and read it with a more critical, objective eye. (Though I’m sure most writers are critical of their works; I’m not as confident that we can be objective.)

The key is to find a good friend or mentor whose critique you value and trust.

To keep your readers from forgetting the characters, the setting and duologue and symbolism must be fresh, original and excruciatingly readable.
