My universe I've created for my book is so big with so many side characters, I can't fit them all into my main narration.
So I'm writing a companion piece called "Asides" which is going to be random character development interactions that don't really advance the plot or distract from the plot. They'll probably be cozy experiences too.
I've never been one to do what's considered normal with my writing. I just know that I need to write what's in my head.
@BabyToaster: Yep. I know how that goes. It's both good and and aggravating that my writing universe seems to expand faster than the one we live in. Lots of nifty stories, though.
@thedisasterautist Yes! Exactly this! I'm not sure how I'll share these stories with readers just yet, but that's Another-Day-Me problem.
