I'm writing a script, and have already encountered some problems that I think have to do with my outline
I'm pretty new here, so bear with me. When outlining, the proccess I went through was taking the ideas I had for my A, B, C, and D storylines, brainstorming about 10 scenes for each in bullet point format (I tried to treat each storyline like an individual script), and then finally taking all of those bullet points and merging them together into a full list outline. I feel as if this has created two problems for me though
1) even though one storyline is supposed to be dominant, I feel as if it's getting lost in the background of the other ones
2) It feels like the flow of the story is choppy and awkwardly stitched together
I don't know what to do. I really believe I have strong scenes and strong individual storylines, yet no flow. It's like a big puzzle where every piece is only slightly misshapen. How would you handle such a problem?
