Japanese doesn't actually have tones, which is where all the multiple Kanji meanings come from. They were approximating the different tones in Chinese with the kana sounds of their language. Vaguely similar to how things of foreign nature are written in katakana, but not really.

I'll echo the good art, and in addition:

You MUST have a storyboard.
MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST.

Have I beat it into your head yet? Good.

This is the step in-between thinking of the story and writing it, it's where you break up the story into scenes and write a brief description of each scene. They're typically done in flowchart form so you can follow everything and see the decision points. I mean, sure, you can try to write the story cold-turkey, but it's hella hard and will probably be disorganized and shitty (talking from experience here), and if you're working with multiple writers it'll be even harder to try and coordinate something without an overall structure to work from. There's a reason it's an industry practice to do this.

There's a bunch of free flowchart programs around (I've been personally using yED, but just look them up on wiki), and it'll really help you out if you're serious about this.
