 is required. This workshop is designed for participants 16 +.</strong></p>
 \n<p>Conflict is the driver of movement in all stories\, whether they be f
 ictional or memoir. It&rsquo\;s what forces our characters to make choices
 . It creates tension\, develops story/character arc\, and keeps our audien
 ce interested. Without conflict and the changes it stimulates\, there is n
 o emotional depth to our writing&mdash\;no story. In this workshop\, we&rs
 quo\;ll look at how to create conflict and examine the ways our characters
  move through it. This workshop is for all levels of writers and all genre
 s. Bring something to write with and something to write on.</p>\n<p></p>\n
