Rapid Story Development #4: Teams and Ensembles—How to Develop Stories with Large Casts

There are few topics in the field of story development that are less discussed than how to develop stories with large casts. Stories with large casts of characters pose specific challenges to writers and require particular skill sets and tools if they are going to contribute to the telling of a story, rather than detract. Alas, most writers have no clue how even to begin writing multiple-character, stories and so they fall back on the only advice "out there" in the consensus writing community: just do it, just write, the characters will write themselves. Well, characters never write themselves, and the more of them you have, the more complex story development becomes. This fourth e-book in the "Rapid Story Development Series" tackles the problem of multi-character stories, teams, and ensembles and gives you the craft knowledge and tools you need to master developing stories with large casts successfully.
