We’re all passionate about characters. Whether they're the protagonist at the center of the story, or an antagonist that challenges our hero and forces them to grow. Creating characters is one of the most important aspects of any story.

Conflict is the engine that drives your story. It’s what makes your characters go from being bored to fighting each other, from arguing over dry toast to shooting lasers from their eyes. Conflict happens when two or more people have different opinions, ideas, and goals. They can agree on the facts but disagree about their significance and how those things should be resolved. When those things are brought together, conflict results.
