Time to Write Week 48

Group 1: Edits chapter 28 and chapter 8

Group 2: Writing Chapter 48

Group 3: Writing Chapter 28
5 weeks remaining in our writing journey

As we move ahead to finish a rough draft let's talk more about how to create conflict. 

So I have talked over and over about GMC. Who is your hero, what does he want, why does he want it and what's in the way.....

So the first rule. Don't give your characters what they want so easily. Make it nearly impossible. 

At every turn make things harder and harder for your characters. Toss in the crazy and worsening thing to the point a normal person would give up and walk away defeated. Increase the conflict of failure for your hero. Make it impossible but make if where your hero can't walk away. 

Conflict between characters need to grow. Conflict in story needs to increase. Don't make it easy on anyone. 

Work on this once you are editing your story. I sometimes add in more as I rewire when ideas hit me. Always worth it. 

Now it's time to Write.
