Writing High Concept Conflict (WildWorks)




Writing High Concept Conflict (WildWorks)

There are three elements without which there is no Story:

1) Characters,

2) Setting,

3) Conflict.

Of the three, Conflict is the easiest to master. Yet confusion and contradictory information abounds making it difficult to understand the role of Conflict in Story.

This course will show you how to look at Conflict in a way that is easy to understand. "High Concept" is a publishing and film industry term that means a concept that is easy to grasp, that deals with a breakout idea and archetypical stakes.

In short, the term “High Concept” means “simple concept.” The moment you hear the central idea of each type of conflict, it will immediately ring the bell of recognition and you can put it into practice right away.

I have given this course at various international writer’s conferences, including ThrillerFest—a premier thriller enthusiasts’ Conference in New York organized by the International Thriller Writers—as well as universities as part of my 24-hour course on the Anatomy of Story.

WRITING HIGH CONCEPT CONFLICT includes a Workbook and other Resources to guide you along the way—like a Master Story Conflict Cheat Sheet that you can use for each of your WIPs—and help you analyze other stories—books and films—to see how others have done it, or failed to do. Lessons include a Summary at the end and Actions for Today that you can refer to conveniently as many times as you wish with your unlimited time subscription.

WRITING HIGH CONCEPT CONFLICT also includes a section dedicated to Conflict Resolution, which is critical for ending stories in a satisfying way, plus a Bonus Lesson to give you an extra edge.

If you take about 15 to 20 minutes a day—which includes your practice sessions recommended after each Lesson—you will be able to finish this course in two weeks.

I have striven to give you the essence of what I’ve learned over decades and wished I’d known when I started writing. And I know, having given this course to professional authors, that Writing High Concept Conflict is unique.

Mastering conflict is the simplest way to help focus your story and ensure it has a satisfying end.
