Ch. 65 | Why Internal Conflict is Key to Writing a Good Story

On today’s chapter of the #WordWeaverPodcast I give a very brief (we are talking the briefest of brief) life update before I delve into why internal conflict is a necessary ingredient to any good story and how it drives character development. I touch on the different types of internal conflict including: religious, moral, societal, existential etc., the five (5) main triggers for a protagonist’s internal struggle including: desire, needs, duty, fear, and expectation, and some ways you can add internal conflict into your character profiles or WIP manuscript.The Word Weaver Podcast is available on all podcast platforms and now on YouTube.Word Weaver Podcast LinksInstagram: @wordweaverpodcastWebsite: louiseclairejohnson.com/podcast#wordweaverpodcastNEW episodes weekly on Word Weaver Wednesdays.
