I like to use the free writes to explore side plots, different aspects of my specific world, and characters who might not get as much time as the main characters.

One way to do the free writes is to pick a random topic in your book, and just write thoughts about it.

Example:

Family structure of my main character. How does she feel about her parents? Who's the boss in the family? How's her relationship with her sibs. Who does chores? Just all the random threads that connect the family together that might not have made it into a character chart.

I hope that helps!

Thank you,
