shivverWow, I totally missed again, for days this time! I'm so sorry. Things have been so busy and, well, stressful. Let's take some inspiration from that.
This challenge is for the weekend, so it's due Monday (since I missed posting on Wednesday for Friday). This time, let's write conflict and stress, but not direct physical conflict, but social or emotional, and strive for realism, not narrative. (Think about it. Think about a scene in your favorite show where two characters are having an entertaining (to the audience) argument, but put yourself into the shoes of one of the characters. Would you react the same way, say the same things, as them? Probably not.)
Remember that "conflict" doesn't have to mean yelling at each other, and it doesn't have to even mean external conflict. For example, character A might be unhappy about something that character B is doing and want to ask them to stop but also feel that they have no right to ask - that's internal conflict. How does A work through this? What do they decide to do, and how do they feel about their decision?
