@jasondoroughauthor: Ensemble casts can make a story feel rich and alive, but they fall apart if characters start blending together. Make every character feel like they could carry their own story—give them unique wants, fears, voices, and ways of reacting. Let their relationships create tension and their choices affect one another. When arcs are interconnected, the cast feels cohesive instead of random. #WritingTips #BookTok #WritersOfTikTok #EnsembleCast #CharacterDevelopment
