NaNo Day 8 - The Tie That Binds

Today I wrote a new scene with a secondary character as the main character. Her interaction with other characters provided elements of back story that tie to the main character. In my case, it's part of what makes the magic in my fantasy world work.

Whether you write fantasy, mystery, historical or a contemporary novel, plot threads have to tie together uniting in a logical way that makes sense to the reader.

Today's Prompt:

Write a scene with a secondary character as the main character. Move them around, have them talk or interact with other characters.

  • What did you learn about your protagonist?
  • What's important to the secondary character and why?
  • What do they experience that ties them to the main character?
