Description
$80 (Members: $72) | How to write stories with good central conflicts | 4 lessons | Self-paced
This class digs into what story conflict is, how authors create it (or don’t), and what you can do to fix it.
It covers:
- how character development impacts conflict and how conflict impacts story structure
- the eternal trifecta (goal, motivation, conflict) to help you learn to identify character goals and motivations and how these lead to conflict
- how to sharpen goals and motivations in order to create stronger conflict
- how conflict plays out in major genres such as romance and mystery.
This class assumes that you know what basic storytelling concerns like world-building/setting mean.
The class is entirely online and asynchronous (you don’t have to be in any particular place at any particular time to participate).
