I get a lot of questions about writing good internal conflict. You know that your characters must have internal conflict, but WHAT exactly should their desires, fears, and misbeliefs be? When in doubt, go to the Enneagram. In today's video I'm sharing with you how I use the Enneagram system as a starting point to writing relatable, conflicted, dynamic characters.

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
