#WritingWonders 08-02: How much do you know about your side characters pror to tthe first draft?
For anything over 3k words, I usually come with almost a full cast in hand, complete w/history &n relationships. I call myself a marinator and anything over 3k requires some marination -typically- before I start drafting. (I do not plot nor make character sheets. They all just live rent-free in my brain.)
Below 3k, probably nothing because it's likely being written in a timed writing via a prompt.
