I've notice lately that when a new character enters the scene and they intrigue me enough to find a way to use them, I tend to go back to the age-old device "Why?" to get their story. <br /><br />Truth be told, secondary characters are much easier to work with for me. They aren't shy, they're determined to keep their place in the novel, and they'll spill all secrets just to keep their foot in the game.<br /><br />Audra, the AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-65055827974471511532023-02-06T16:03:49.315-05:002023-02-06T16:03:49.315-05:00Yay!

But when I go back to add depth to the story, I add interesting side characters and the subplots start to pop up. When I discover one I love, I go back to the beginning of the story and weave it in.<br /><br />Looking forward to reading your new book!!!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-8155035627377862592023-02-06T13:50:36.020-05:002023-02-06T13:50:36.020-05:00Congrats on this series, Mary, and all the wonderf...Congrats on this series, Mary, and all the wonderful subplots! Love Inspired stories are shorter so we don't have much room for involved subplots. Although that doesn't mean that we don't weave some secondary characters into the plot and have their lives change within the pages.

Do you normally write your stories in the same way, or is each one written in a different way? Like for this one, sounds like the subplot is getting put in later. In other stories, did you know more about a character than you did where the story was going, or in another story know more about what some of the action scenes were going to be but not so much who the characters were yet? Or do you have everything planned out from the beginning and just start writing?

I have an introverted, people watcher, empath sort of personality so I love to write secondary characters. In an either or situation such as go out and socialize or sit home and creat plots with imaginary people. No contest!
