        Don't scatter the story; keep it simple, stupid. The words "complex" and "scattered" are two completely different things;  a good story can be complicated but never scattered.  Complex doesn't stray too far from simple.  
      Another (though related) thought:  Never feel "compelled" to write a chorus or bridge just because some guy at a seminar, or a book on the subject you read, says you must!  You're an artist.  Think like an artist.  Better still, don't think - do it!
