What's the key to successful story telling?
I've got a friend that is writing a cartoon that I'm going to animate, but I fear that his writing style is too weak to accommodate a story.
There's no linear train of thought (I want to tell this kind of story to people, so I'll craft it around this idea).
There's no consideration to an audience.
He visualizes a scene, and then he writes about it. It seems problematic and weak. It's like smoke and mirrors, and I fear it's reflected in his work.
I can't say we'll ever get a good story out of a thought process like that.
I understand writing is a skill like drawing is a skill, but is there a right way to write fictional stories?
I can only say I know that there's certainly a right and wrong way to create functional, believable recreations of reality when it comes to art.

I believe he has the brain to create great works of fiction, but he doesn't think critically in the right manner about what he's creating.
I read his work, and it's very far from Stephen King.
I understand that visualization is an important part of writing, but I can't believe that it's everything.
I worry about the kind of cartoon we'll be making if I'm adapting something that can't stand on its own as a written work. I worry about pouring hours upon hours in-betweening something that will ultimately fall on its face due to a bad foundation.

I'm sure that writing isn't something people can just pick-up in a day and be successful at.
I've no experience writing, but I know it's difficult to successfully do.

I don't think you realize just how shitty and dumbed-down a work has to be in order to find a place in the hearts of millions.
The most successful writers hold that title due to serendipity.

What I do is to write a "skeleton" of the story before I actually write it. Thus I can think about it without having to worry about the actual writing. Then I can make adjustments according to what I've written.
If that makes sense

I don't believe it's really that easy though.
Even garbage like 50 shades of grey has a lot of thought put into it.
I fear you don't give people enough credit as human beings.
