A plot without a conflict is like a car without a gas tank: It might look lovely from a distance but it isn’t going to get you anywhere.

In this session, Jason will lead a half-hour reflection about literary conflict: why it matters, how it should inform the events of a story, and how it influences the interplay of characters over the arc of a story.

After the reflection, attendees will workshop solutions to each other’s questions or challenges handling conflict in a way that advances and celebrates a story.

This session is in-person. Light snacks will be provided.
