How much do you know about your side characters prior to the first draft?
For #Watermyth, a whole lot! Because it's a novel set in a hypertext project I started in 1997 -- and some of those characters just kind of happened as I grew the web. For anyone curious about how It All Began, I wrote about it here:
https://mythopoetica.com/2023/02/14/pre-publication-date-2-the-origins-of-watermyth-and-tentative-publication-timeline/
(but sadly, it couldn't debut in March and work/health keep interrupting this final process prior to sending it for publication!)
