Re: I'm out. Good Luck to the Rest of you.
Sounds like you have multiple protagonists.

Many novels have "side plots" (otherwise, they would not be complex enough to be novel length), but it's acceptable for a novel to have multiple plots that have equal importance (e.g., three main plots instead of a main plot and two side plots.)

Just consider this: Each of your storylines has a premise of its own. Each has a main character with a goal, who is hindered by a conflict, which is created by an antagonist.

Are your main characters all working toward the same goal?
