When you first flesh out a story idea, it’s perfectly natural to discover that your story is lacking conflict. Quite often when you create a story, you create the entire story in my layers. What do I mean by layers? Here's an example: So, you flesh out the story idea, after this you outline, then revise your outline, and you’ll go through and add more conflict into the story. This experience is perfectly normal. Don’t think that if your story idea is lacking conflict in its initial stages of conception, then it’s a terrible idea. It isn’t bad; you just need to add more conflict to your story.

In this first episode of my two-part series on how to create conflict in your novel, I discuss and share examples of the 5 types of story conflict. Understanding the types of story conflict is an important step to creating an enriching reading experience for your readers. It's important that you figure out the types of conflict that will work well with your story before you start to add more conflict to your story idea.

Thanks for listening!
