As writers, we spend a lot of time getting the major characters right but what about the minor ones?
Well, it’s worth remembering that minor characters are crucial because they can play an important part in the story.
Their functions include:
* They can be the catalyst for something to happen
* They can impart information
* They can reveal information about another character
So you need to take care creating minor characters. They may only be part of the scenery but worth drawing them carefully and asking yourself what job they are doing.
