Conflict is the spice of storytelling! Whether it’s a comic, movie, or show, those moments of raw emotion often stick with us the longest. You know the ones—when characters clash, emotions boil over, and things get real. A fiery argument can leave your readers on the edge of ...
Writing unsavoury people
