I sincerely hope my novel would only have characters that are relevant to the development of the storyline.

I quite a popular paranormal series because of that. I was fine with all of the couples and their books but they went from being a book about 2 people to what was supposed to be a book about 2 people falling in love and ended up being a book about 12+ characters with all different storylines and it was just too much to keep processed. :/ Anna (herding cats-burning soup)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17422129120413380189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980306124789873678.post-91113591917857834482015-04-21T11:51:25.161+01:002015-04-21T11:51:25.161+01:00I can imagine how much it hurts for you.

It hurts initially, but it always ends up being for the better in the long run. The more characters there are, the less "screen time" they're able to have, which just isn't fair to them or their individual story arcs...Heather R.
