I wrote about the mysterious way flat characters come alive in fairy tales--and how to use that strategy in other sorts of stories.

It involves unexpected action and even keeping secrets.

What do you think? Can you handle characters you don't completely understand? Any other tricks for bringing life to non-POV or peripheral characters?

I think there are stark differences between that article and the work of the #BetaCodex. The differences are not superficial: While that colleague applauds #flatness, we reject it, as you can see here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/flat-hierarchies-just-another-step-wrong-direction-niels-pflaeging/

So while some advocate "flat", we advocate #decentralization. We published a lot on the matter, including the #OrganizeForComplexity book and our work on #OrgPhysics. Also related: #CellStructureDesign, see https://www.redforty2.com/cellstructuredesign.
