Episode 110: How to Write Better INTERNAL CONFLICT


Listen Later

If you’ve been on mine and Abbie’s respective channels, or watched this podcast for any length of time, you know that Abbie and I believe that this ONE ELEMENT is the most important part of telling a good story -- and that is... INTERNAL CONFLICT. Internal conflict is the desire and fear that your character faces within them -- the driving force that will cause them to change and transform throughout the story. This is the most vital ingredient of storytelling, and can be challenging to implement sometimes, so today we’re breaking down HOW TO NAIL YOUR CHARACTER’S INTERNAL CONFLICT... in just 3 simple steps. So grab your notebook and let's get to it!
