Jul 27, 2017 · 1 min read

Takeaways from an excellent session at Romance Writer’s of America on the important of conflict by New York Times Bestselling author @ShirleyJump. Conflict should not be easily resolved.
- The best conflict stems for core emotional issues.
- No one wants to read arguments on a page incessantly.
- The stakes must get higher and higher at every stage.
- Conflict forces the hero/heroine to change in order to attain what they really want.
- Conflict is both internal and external and is in opposition to the hero/heroine’s goal.
- Tension is your “pit in the gut feeling” worrying about what will happen to the characters.
