#WritersCoffeeClub 3.16 — What's the largest cast you've ever written? What made it challenging?
It's actually some of my Doctor Who stories that feature quite a few of the characters, but I'm so proud of those stories as well. Getting their lines down perfectly, along with their mannerisms, always feels difficult when I'm trying to nail a scene with a ton of people in it. The more characters that you have, the more difficult things will become. I prefer smaller groups of characters in scenes, but that's just me. That's how I *usually* write, but not always.
