<p>Most humans try to avoid conflict as much as possible, but novelists love conflict. <br/><br/>Without conflict, a novelist has no story. Conflict keeps your novel moving forward and your readers turning pages. <br/><br/>As Vladimir Nabokov once said, "The writer's job is to get the main character up a tree, and then once they are up there, throw rocks at them."<br/><br/>But how do you get your protagonist up a tree? What kind of rocks should you throw?<br/><br/>In this week's episode, I interview professional fictional rock-thrower, Angela Hunt, to discuss the six classic conflicts. In this episode, you'll discover Biblical and modern examples of classic conflicts<br/><br/>How to mix the conflicts to make your story more interesting<br/>Which conflicts resonate with most readers today<br/><br/>If you want to up the tension in your book or make your next novel more riveting, <a href='https://www.christianpublishingshow.com/writing-conflict-how-to-keep-your-protagonist-on-their-toes/'>listen in</a> or <a href='https://www.christianpublishingshow.com/writing-conflict-how-to-keep-your-protagonist-on-their-toes/'>check out the blog post</a> to find out how to add and layer the six classic conflicts to keep your readers reading.</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/christianpublishingshow">Support the show</a></p>
