The Conflict Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Obstacles, Adversaries, and Inner Struggles (Volume 2) serves up 115 scenarios that lead to power struggles, lost advantages, dangers, threats, ego-related conflicts, and more. Part how-to, part brainstorming tool, this guide provides you with fresh challenges and story problems that will trip up your characters and make them strive harder to win.

This book will help you...

  • Challenge and Test Your Characters. With a vast range of scenarios to choose from, you'll have endless ideas about how to keep your characters on their toes while creating page-turning tension and high stakes.
  • Layer Conflict on Multiple Levels. Learn how to weave conflict into every scene, adding both immediate hurdles and larger, overarching obstacles.
  • Drive Inner and Outer Growth. Each conflict forces your character to confront their fears, face inner struggles, and grow. Or....they'll face crippling failure that sets them back. Either way, each obstacle shines a light on who they really are and the emotional toll of their journey.
  • Build a Satisfying Climax. Get practical tips on orchestrating an unforgettable showdown that has high stakes and escalating tension.
  • Create a Story that Stands Out. Each scenario offers endless options for the minor inconveniences, disastrous results, and inner struggles that could result. No matter what genre you write, you'll find ways to craft a fresh premise for readers to enjoy. 
This book is the second volume in The Conflict Thesaurus and can be used on its own. However, reader reviews indicate that the two together facilitate a deeper understanding of conflict and provide more brainstorming options on how to make trouble for characters.
