How does everyone put their stories together before actually writing & directing it?
Do you take notes first eg how you want each episode to go (scene by scene), key points in the story?
I don’t know where to start.
I don’t take notes, but I plan out the immediate events. Usually I do that as I try to fall asleep since I’m not distracted and I don’t have to move or talk to think about plot ideas.

I normally just in a word doc. write out a simple plan and add things as I go. I write the basic events in each episode along with the choices and the cliffhanger I will include. I just find this easier to be able to have a guide to follow when actually writing the story.

The way I plan out my story is this:
Overall summary
(Summarize your main plot for your story)
Episode 1- title
<Scene 1>- where
- what happens in this scene
*any directing tips
To signify choices-
- CHOICE
– option 1- what happens if you choose this?
– option 2- what happens if you choose this?
Repeat that for all of your episodes and scenes!
I would put all this in a note or document. If you would like to see it immediately when you start directing your story, you can plan it out using hashtags.
I hope this helped!
Thank you.
That might work for me.
I usually start out with the three ideas for this whole story. I then come up with my theme. Then I write down the premise or basic plot of my story. I elaborate on each sentence by drawing a line from it and writing from there. That is my basic plan for the story. Then I go on Google Docs and write out each episode EXACTLY how I want it to go. And I repeat.
thank you
No problem.
