The Bewitched
Well does anyone else have this problem? When you write a story and you have plenty of characters, but you tend to get attached to all of them, then you bring new characters in then also get attached to them so much that it evatually has too many characters?.
Well that what I do, in my latest story, I have about forty two characters! I know it's insane, some of them are kids, about four of them are teens between 13-18, and the others are adults, there more girls characters, and more lesbians as it seems (I plan to add a gay couple but I have too many already).
I guess it's because I get attached to these characters so I want to keep them, and keep them, (I am going to get rid of aleasy three in a couple of months who will die, a fourth one will leave), of course they aren't all main stars but still, there so many of them that I need to cut down, this is way too many more then the main characters when they were all in High school (Well the Graduates from 2006 I mean).
So does anyone else usually come into this problem? And how many characters are enough? I know fourteen can be done well but forty two? (Althought the younger kids aren't always in every scene)
