I know over the years I've exhausted the formula of creating romance novels and I've probably overdosed on the topic of "conflict" in writing fiction. But, seriously, the professionals emphasize and re-emphasize the importance and necessity of conflict, and romance novels are filled with it. How much is too much?
I mean, why can't people communicate with each other? That single issue seems to be the root of conflict in most romantic fiction - and it drives me nuts. So, again, how much is too much?
Father, it's the age old problem of being truthful without being inconsiderate. Help us to be honest in our communications with each other. And help us to be authentic people who write authentically. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
