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]

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 😉

HERE IS THE LINK

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?

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]

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?
