Audrey Caylin started the topic 2018 Week 16: When to pull back on conflict in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 8 months ago
Hey Ereki!
We’ve been talking a lot about putting conflict into our stories and how to do it, but now I want to pose a question: at what moments in a story should internal conflict (temporarily) die down?
Like action sequences, internal conflict rises and falls throughout a story; if it were intense all the time, it would feel stagnant and…[Read more]

Audrey Caylin started the topic 2018 Week 15: Creating internal conflict (an article) in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 8 months ago
Good morning, Ereki!
Today I have an excellent article on conflict for you all. Well, actually, it’s Brandon Miller’s article, but since he wrote it when Kingdom Pen was still active, I don’t think I’m betraying our guild 😉
When you’re done, share one point or idea that really stood out to you and how you’re going to use it to…[Read more]

And here we are at another Monday (one of these days I’ll come up with something more original to say 😉 )
My new goals are:
– get a tangible plot for an idea I’m playing around with
– write an article
– create a Pinterest board for the plot bunny that attacked me yesterday
What about you all?

Audrey Caylin started the topic 2018 Week 14: Showing internal conflict through external conflict in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 9 months ago
Morning, Ereki!
This week’s annual theme discussion is about how to show internal conflict through external conflict. Since internal conflict is so…internal, it often needs to to be reflected in a physical battle for readers to better grasp it. That’s exactly what today’s discussion is about: finding examples in books, movies, or your own…[Read more]

Audrey Caylin started the topic 2018 Week 13: The best external conflict ever in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 9 months ago
Good morning, Ereki!
I’m shifting our annual theme discussions a bit by focusing on external conflict, so for today, I have a question I’d like us to answer and discuss:
What is the best external conflict you’ve ever read/watched, and what made it so fantastic?
As with most discussions, there isn’t one right answer, so feel free to share your…[Read more]
