GAH! I can't stand to think like that! I'd have about 20 characters stuck in stasis, glaring resentfully at me...
In my case, I'm not sure it's so much 'managing' them as finding inspiration for them. My brain seems to spark off at random tangents half the time, and if it's not sparking on a certain storyline, that's just life, go on to the current 'spark' until we light upon a previous storyline
