Hey friend — The side-character web in the workbook is a genius, simple way to map who supports, challenges, or reveals parts of your main character. Give each person a purpose, even the bubbly Brenda or the mysterious Thorne — they’ll stop being filler and start pushing your story forward.

Fill the circles, name the faces (yes, even the Martian leaders), and use the right-hand notes to add age, goals, quirks, and how they change your MC. It’s quick, fun, and honestly game-changing — go make those side characters matter.
