@jasondoroughauthor: Introducing a new character doesn’t mean unloading their entire backstory at once. Info dumps kill momentum. Instead, reveal them through actions, decisions, dialogue, and internal thoughts. Let readers discover who they are gradually, the way we meet people in real life. Drip backstory in when it’s relevant. The mystery is part of what makes them compelling. #WritingTips #BookTok #WritersOfTikTok #CharacterIntroduction #WritingCraft
I have a lot of made up words in my fantasy novel and I was wondering if keeping their definitions footnoted would be a good idea? Sometimes context clues are not helpful enough.
