As a social scientist, Deanna never believed in the mythical idea of romantic chemistry between men and women. Then, while visiting her sister in Montana, she meets C.R. Whitmore who teaches her that everything she theorized about romantic relationships might just be more fallacy than fact. C.R. has secret reasons for being in Montana, reasons he'd never shared with another soul. He's single- minded and focused--until he meets Deanna. How could one small woman create such big changes in his life?
It Could Always Be Worse is the name of a kids book and coming from this POV, imagining the worst is where the creative juices flow for both the writer and reader. If everything was vanilla, it would be a very plain world indeed. (Alyson Widen 11:04am March 12, 2010)

Conflict is essential in great storytelling. It can be minor points of conflict or big blow ups. (Mary Preston 3:56pm March 12, 2010)
I'm a person who's avoided "conflict" as much as possible. But conflict in all books? That was a hard thing to swallow at first. But I finally did, especially the internal conflict--maybe because I go through a lot of that myself. So thanks for explaining it so well here. (Sigrun Schulz 9:59pm March 12, 2010)
Very good article. I agree with the above about how well you explained it. I enjoy conflict in books - but, not conflict for conflict's sake. (Karin Tillotson 8:33pm March 14, 2010)
