In and Out: Putting Characters in Conflict: A Dancing on Coals Workshop

In and Out: Putting Characters in Conflict is one of Dancing on Coals' most popular workshops. Designed to help you create strong, believable and realistic conflict for your characters in every book you write, this book focuses on the art and craft of conflict, both internal and external.

You'll learn how to make sure the conflict in your novel is strong enough to sustain a work of novel-length fiction, how to weave conflicts together in ways that are fresh, exciting, and powerful, and how to identify ways in which a character's core beliefs create conflict. We'll focus on how internal and external conflicts work together and against each other and how to ensure that you're using conflict as a double-edged sword to keep readers interested and engaged from the first page of your novel to the last.
