NO PLOT, NO PROBLEM:  Getting from idea to draft through brainstorming and conflict

NO PLOT, NO PROBLEM: Getting from idea to draft through brainstorming and conflictNo plot, no problem! Or should that be, no problem, no plot? So often we get excited about an idea for a story—then we have trouble developing the actual *story* from that idea. We&#x27;ll brainstorm conflicts and complications based on your story seed, whether that&#x27;s character, concept or world-building, and talk about how to use those conflicts to develop a plot that will build toward a satisfying conclusion.A﻿pprox 2 hours.
