How do you develop your minor characters to fit the plot?
I have trouble making the minor characters in my story fit the role I need them for. I tend to add too much or too little for them.
Any tips on how to get it right?

I agree with Jonathan apartment last part. As I finished a chapter I like to reread it and make any changes I feel are needed to move forward there and then.
And yes, even my minor characters get the full monty - right down to the colour of their eyes!
With my characters, I always think in terms of when my book gets made into a film (I know this is wishful thinking but it works for me!) who would I like to see playing that part. I then have a visual image of my character to hang things onto!
