by Sherry Lewis

This workshop focuses on the art and craft of creating realistic, believable conflict for your character, both internal and external, and on weaving those conflict together in ways that are fresh, exciting, and powerful enough to catch an editor's eye.


Topics include:


* Understanding how a character's core beliefs crate conflict


* How internal and external conflicts work together


* When to hang on to / let go of a character's past


* Keeping conflicts realistic


* Creating layers of conflict


* Why urgency matters in conflict


* Applying conflict to each scene you write


* Avoiding anticipated conflict
