“Well…um…maybe someone else would like to say something?” I asked, trying hard to move the spotlight off me.
The faces stared back at me blankly.
“Fine,” I said. “Tell me the problem, and I’ll see what I can do.”
“You should know what the problem is,” one little old lady screeched at me.
“She can’t remember,” another argued.

Greta started the topic How to Create Good Conflict in the forum 10 years, 2 months ago
Hello, everyone!
The other day, I was reading in this novel book I own that good conflict is made up of M + G + O. In other words, the MC + his/her Goal + the Opposition to that goal = Conflict. I thought this might be an interesting topic to discuss with you all. So what are your thoughts about this? And how do you create good conflict in your novels?

…”Uh,” I pause, trying to remember any “ideas” I might have had before I passed out. The funny thing is, I’ve never met these people before in my life. How could they possibly know who I am?
The red-headed man glares at me again and waits expectantly for me to speak. When I say nothing, he growls, “Tell us about your idea to save the world.…[Read more] -

Ooo, I like it @zoe-wingfeather! Like other people noted, I would watch out for info-dumping. For example, the writing in bold below, to me is a bit info-dump-ey…I struggle with the same thing, by the way. 🙂
I sigh. Work is so boring. I’m a secretary for a big computer company, and pretty much all I do all day is file papers.
The story is r…[Read more]

I awoke to the sound of tapping for the fifth night in a row. At first I thought it was outside… but then I realized it was coming from the mirror again. Now, I’m tough, but hey, when your mirror taps, that is creepy, especially in the dead of night. And the fact that I had just read Snow White. I reached out a shaking hand and flicked on my b…[Read more]

Yet another long corridor. This is crazy. What does this house look like from the outside? I have absolutely no idea what to do. Maybe I’d try a different door. Trying the next door in line I found it to be like the room in which I had awoken. The sheets were messed up, so I figured people must be somewhere close by. And then I found them. Behind…[Read more]

Tessa Just: ESFP
Not quite @daeus. I’m actually an ENFJ. What made you think of me as an ESFP? How did you guess/figure it out? What did you use?

@kate-flournoy If you’re interested, Mark Twain was first a printer but became a river pilot instead. This experience stimulated him to write Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The name Mark Twain, which he first used as a newspaperman, came from his riverboat days. Mark twain means two fathoms, a measure of depth of water. (Twain meaning two and…[Read more]
