Hello! My story has two parallel plotlines, following the two main characters, and the POVs alternate between the two. However, I realized that the story is disjointed because while the two POVs follow the same overall situation and setting, they don’t have much to do with one another plotwise, so it feels like two completely separate stories which are both more interesting on their own than together. Do you have any tips on how I could possibly fix this?





I’m not sure that’s necessarily a bad thing. I’m reading a book kind of like that right now. It has three POVs with three separate plot lines, all dealing with the same thing. However, right now, there’s no connection between the three characters or what’s happening to them, and I’m more than halfway through the book. I’m assuming their stories are going to converge at some point, though. So, I guess that’d be my recommendation, is to see if you can find a way to make these threads merge by the end of the story. :)
