I usually write shorts so trying a novel brings a up a few problems I havn'e had to deal with before. One of those is characters. Character here, characters there, it seems every scene has a new character. (Not really, if you're doing that I think you're doing it wrong.) But they do come into the story line and then dissapear for a while. I do have a hard time remembering who is who and what they did and even what their names are. Maybe I shouldn't have celebrated that last birthday.

I'm having to develop a system to keep trackof them all. I haven't figured it out yet but when I do (or if you have a suggestion) I'll let you know.
