“Interiority is often the good telling. You can slip it in really quickly and succinctly to give your reader a quick and dirty explanation of the why of an action.”

”Interiority is about what’s happening inside your main character. This is your best tool to help the reader bridge the gap between what your character does and why they take those actions and make those decisions.”

The Nightmare Before Christmas

"Stakes and that fear of losing something is often what a lot of conflict comes down to, and your antagonistic force is the representation of that conflict." --@FromCarly

“It’s really important to consider what characteristics a strong antagonistic force needs for your specific main character. Because not every character is going to find the same things challenging.”

“Conflict comes from two or more opposing forces competing over some kind of limited resource. We have the MC as one of those forces, and then the forces that oppose them are technically all antagonistic forces.”

“Internal conflict is about how the character’s competing needs creates a sense of not always knowing the right or best thing to do. There’s a lot that goes into this–their general personality, their background, their goals.”

Want to master novel writing basics? We've combined the basics from our @StoryChatRadio episodes into one handy-dandy playlist on YouTube.

The basics are the foundation to all good writing, after all. Or something equally deep or whatever... #AmWriting https://t.co/OHLGWTCmkg

“If you think of your world and the antagonistic forces as a character, then you can see how they interplay with your main characters throughout the story. Having a strong external conflict gives your story a forward momentum.”
