Can You Survive Danger & Death in the Conflict Challenge?

Do you have a bookshelf of writing guides? I do, and well, what can I say? I can never resist a good one! I'm a big fan of the Thesaurus books that Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi write, and here's their latest one: The Conflict Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Obstacles, Adversaries, and Inner Struggles (Vol. 1). 

Every time Angela and Becca release a book they do something epic and fun to celebrate, and I'm on their Street Team so I get to tell you all about it! 

But first, as you're probably curious about this book, let me reveal more. The Conflict Thesaurus is set up like the other books in their series: part how-to, part thesaurus. This guide shows writers how to maximize conflict and use it to build tension, drive the plot, reveal your character's inner layers, and most importantly, keep readers glued to the page.

It's packed with conflict scenarios like Moral Dilemmas, Ticking Clocks, Obstacles, No-Win Scenarios, Temptations and more. It can help you nail down your plot and character arc, so check it out!

Now, speaking of conflict, I have a BIG question for you:

Can You Survive Danger as Well as Your Favourite Protagonist?

You're probably pretty good at throwing problems at your characters and making life difficult for them. After all, that's part of being a writer. But do you ever think about how you'd do if you had to face the same situations? If you were the protagonist, would you hold up to the pressure? Would you make good decisions and succeed, or screw up and fail?

Let's find out.

Introducing...The Conflict Challenge 

Become the protagonist in a story Angela and Becca created using scenarios found in the Conflict Thesaurus to see if you've got what it takes to win.

The Conflict Challenge is fun, campy, and will put your wits and instincts to the test.  (I've tried it, and it's FAB!)

And if you survive, you will win some cool stuff!
