For My Writer Friends:

For My Writing Friends: Conflict ThesaurusI don’t know about you, but I get a little excited when a new writing guide comes along. Today I get to spill the news that The Conflict Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Obstacles, Adversaries, and Inner Struggles (Vol. 1) has hit the shelves.

This guide is about that killer ingredient our stories need: Conflict. It shows you exactly how to use conflict to raise tension, create a fresh story premise, and pull readers in. The guide also dives into over 100 conflict scenarios and how each can be endlessly adapted to challenge a character inside and out. Problems, Moral Dilemmas, Ticking Clocks, Obstacles, No-Win Scenarios…this book is plot brainstorming in overdrive!

I’m part of Angela & Becca’s Street Team for this release, and we have an important question to ask you:

Can You Survive Danger as Well as Your Favorite Protagonist?

Sure, it’s easy for you to use conflict to torture your characters and make them struggle, but what if it’s you in the hot seat instead? Will you make good decisions, or bad ones?

It’s time to find out by taking the Conflict Challenge! I dare you to become the protagonist in a special story Angela & Becca have created. And heads up, if you survive, you win some pretty cool stuff!

GIVEAWAY ALERT For My Writer Friends

While you’re at Writers Helping Writers taking the Conflict Challenge, make sure to enter The Conflict Thesaurus celebratory giveaway, too. But hurry – it’s only on for a few days.

So, take the challenge…if you dare. And don’t forget to come back and let me know how you did against Camp Deadwood!

    Oh gracious!It about scared the liver out of me! I did survive, but my roots grew an inch! Sounds like a great book.

    Apparently it isn’t a good idea to get separated from the group, because I died in an alien encounter! Lol! So excited for this one! Heading to Amazon to put it on my wish list – if I can wait until then to order my own copy!

    Haha, that was fun! I failed pretty quickly the first time, but made it through safely the second time on Becca’s side. On a side note, I had a job interview today, and I drove myself out for the first time, it went well, we chatted more about music and diet than the job, and hopefully I get offered a position! It’s at a large greenhouse that grows seedlings. Pray for me, that if I’m supposed to get this job, I’ll feel comfortable accepting a position, and if not, I feel confident to turn it down! Thank you! And I am still praying for you, Patricia!

    Well, I died by the hands of the Banjo Brothers but tried again and made it!! Thanks Pat, that was fun and a cute diversion. Just tells me I need to stay in the attorney world, that I wouldn’t make it so good as a writer. LOL!!

    I survived with Becca! Then Angela, lol. Then I went back to see all the ways I could have died, lol. Super fun, and I’ve shared it with my writer friends. Looks like a great book, one I should add to my “writing assist” library. And I just realized Angela and Becca wrote the Emotion Thesaurus, which I have referenced lots. Thanks for sharing!

      They are, Sally Jo. I have all of them either in print or pdf. For the Emotion Thesaurus, I prefer the pdf because I don’t have to leave my computer. lol. And when I’m working on my story, I reactivate my subscription to their website. The have so many things there to help writers.
