Help with Writing - Story and Scene Structure
I've been investing a lot of time and energy over the past couple of years learning how to create things - drawings, animations, music, 3D models, video games, the works - and the ultimate goal of all this is to get a story published in some form. But there's one very key thing preventing me from fitting all these pieces together: I am terrible at coming up with stories. Don't get me wrong, I can write - I can describe characters and places with flowery language, I can come up with jokes and everything - but I have no idea how to string all these characters, places and jokes together into one coherent narrative with a beginning, middle and end. If you gave me a pre-established story or plot outline and asked me to sprinkle it with dialogue or worldbuilding or gags, I could probably do so, but if you asked me to come up with a whole story from nothing, I'd be lost.
