Working on the writing part

I've always been more of an overall idea guy.  I can come up with ideas and concepts for stories and worlds, but the actual writing of a script is something that has never come naturally.  I find myself now trying to work on those muscles and develope that skill.  I've got the germ of an idea for a children's show that I am in the process of trying to flesh out.  In the past, I've always kind of wrote "stream-of conscience" style and have generally ended up with a tangled mess of ideas not really well conected together and forced dialogue and un-needed exposition.

This time I'm trying to do it right.  I'm working from an outline with a beginning, middle, and an ending.  It may still end up a jumbled mess that I bring to one of my writer friends to help bring together, but I really want to try to bring this together myself and prove to myself that I can do it.  Like I tell young artists, if you want to draw you need to draw.  I want to write, so I need to write.  Just gotta work out those muscles, y'know.  Just may need to keep the Ben-Gay and a bag of ice nearby.
