Without conflict, you have no story…good conflict is multi-layered. A great story has two kinds of conflict we will discuss on today’s show. External conflict is the adversity the hero faces from outside forces. Internal conflict is born of the characters thoughts, fears, obligations, needs, desires, etc.
