    Ensemble Casts: How much and how fast?

    From personal experience, writing an ensemble epic is really just like writing lots of short novellas. It's much easier if you think about it that way!

    I agree with CupofJoe. This website has been super helpful. I've been on a bit of a hiatus, but I still made it back haha! Bienvenidos ThiefGold! (Just stay away from my Reddit gold)
