Hello everyone.
I've just finished the 3rd draft of my story and I've hit a speed bump. It's several story lines and they're all combining in to one story...mostly. It's like a soap opera. Actually a better example would be Once Upon a Time. They have the story of what's going on in Storybrooke, in the Fairy Tale world and in Fairy Tale world's past. All of which combined into one story.
I have a story that's like that but it's.....it doesn't feel like it's really intertwining as well as it should.
Reviewing the story it's one main story, a core story, and a few other stories wrapping with it. But it's like those other strands are just hanging around the core but not sticking to it.
The core story is a young man's application, studies and conflicts at a school for magic users. The surrounding stories are: college graduates moving into a house and adjusting to keeping their magic under control. The true monsters in the criminal world. And the last is a story following mortals and how they live among the magical.
What can I do, or how, can I make these strands stick to the core?
