I am the most non-confrontational person you will ever meet.  I will walk a mile out of my way to avoid facing conflict.  In fact, my secret power is the ability to hold grudges.  I could do a lecture series on how to hold grudges for amazingly long amounts of time.  So you can see why one of my biggest challenges as a writer is introducing conflict into a story line.  There are times that I find myself writing pages and pages about how wonderfully the main characters are getting along.  Twenty pages later, I think to myself, “Who would want to read this crap?”  We want harmony in our own lives but we need conflict in our books.  We want to see our main character face challenges and learn how to lift herself/himself above them.  We have nothing to cheer for if the character has not been given something to fight for.  So, while others might daydream of upcoming vacations, the love of their life, or winning the lottery, I am imagining conflicts and satisfying resolutions.  Everyday me could probably learn something from writer me.
