• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Do you struggle with creating conflict in your novel? You don't have to.

Award-winning author Janice Hardy (and founder of the popular writing site, Fiction University) takes you deep inside one of the most important aspects of storytelling--conflict. She'll help you understand what conflict really is, discuss the various aspects of conflict, and reveal why common advice on creating conflict doesn't always work.

With in-depth analysis and easy-to-understand examples, Understanding Conflict (And What It Really Means) looks at how to develop and create conflict in your novel. It also explores aspects that affect conflict, and the misconceptions that confuse and frustrate so many writers.

This book will help you:

• Understand what conflict means and how to use it
• Tell the difference between external and internal conflicts
• See why conflict isn't a "one size fits all" solution
• Determine the type of conflict your story needs
• Fix lackluster scenes holding your writing back

Understanding Conflict (And What It Really Means) is more than just advice on what to do and what not to do-it's a down and dirty examination and analysis of how conflict works, so you can develop it in whatever style or genre you're writing. By the end of this book, you'll have a solid understanding of what conflict means and the ability to use it without fear or frustration.
