One of the most important aspects of storytelling is conflict.
Conflict drives action—it breeds tension, which naturally makes us want to binge-read until we find a resolution.

This thread is secretly about pirates.

Conflict is also multidimensional. I like to consider four types:
1. Internal-Intrapersonal
2. External-Intrapersonal
3. Internal-Interpersonal
4. External-Interpersonal
Let’s break ‘em down, shall we?
And, yes. It’s time for the pirates. @LaurenEEPersons @GinaGWrites

Will must compromise his core beliefs as a law-abiding citizen when he teams up with pirates to save the woman he loves.

When a character takes action in a way that conflicts with their values/how they truly feel.
Davy Jones’s gf betrayed him, so he convinced the pirate lords to imprison her for entirety.
But the dude still hits on her. (?!?)

When one character’s belief clashes with another’s.
I mean... Just look at the hats.
Lawfulness versus scallawagery, anyone?
