Mythological beings are steeped in tradition, so how does one introduce a new demigod?
I believe it is a combination of backstory (reflection) and great character development. The two must be interwoven throughout the novel, and success can only be measured after a reader finishes. However, the above is only the beginning. System engineering teaches us to break things down into smaller and smaller pieces until you have the most basic element to work with.
What's the next breakdown in backstory? How about character development?
I'd like to hear from you, but my next blog post will take an excerpt from a blog tour I did on types of characters, which is part of breaking down character development.
