A story where the character gets exactly what they want doesn't make for good reading. But add villainous clashes, lost advantages, power struggles, and menacing threats...well, now we have the makings of a page-turner. Conflict is the golden thread that binds plot to arc, providing the complications, setbacks, and derailments that make the character's inner and outer journeys dynamic. Inside Volume 2 of The Conflict Thesaurus, you'll find: A myriad of conflict options in the form of power struggles, ego-related stressors, dangers and threats, advantage and control losses, and other miscellaneous challenges Information on how each scenario should hinder the character on the path to their goal so they'll learn valuable life lessons and gain insight into what's holding them back internally Instruction about using the multiple levels of conflict to add pressure through immediate, scene-level challenges and looming problems that take time to solve Guidance on keeping a story's central conflict in the spotlight and utilizing subplots effectively so they work with-not against-the main plotline An exploration of the climax and how to make this pinnacle event highly satisfying for readers Ways to use conflict to deepen your story, facilitate epic adversarial showdowns, give your characters agency, and infuse every scene with tension Meaningful conflict can be so much more than a series of roadblocks. Challenge your characters inside and out with over 100 tension-inducing scenarios in this second volume of The Conflict Thesaurus. And for more instruction on how to use this element to enhance your story (and an additional 100+ conflict scenarios), check out The Conflict Thesaurus, Volume 1.
