Writing a good story, no matter the form, requires that you have these two fundamentals in place. What is this story about? What do my characters want? And that intention needs to be clear as quickly as possible. And then what are the obstacles in the way of what your character(s) want? The obstacle needs to be formable. If you do not have these two keys then you have no conflict and thus no drama. No excitement.
Host Anthony Pavelich reviews these key elements and shares a little more background and some of the struggles he faces while on the path to becoming a true writer and creator.
