Activate the Power of Conflict in Your Story

Good news – we’ve doubled the Conflict Thesaurus at One Stop for Writers, which means double the option when it comes to pumping our scenes with tension and plotting a fresh story!

Every story needs conflict and lots of it, so if you need help, check this database out. You’ll find over 230 unique conflict scenarios broken down by category:


Relationship Friction
Duty and Responsibility
Failures and Mistakes
Moral Dilemmas and Temptations
Pressure and Ticking Clocks
No-Win Scenarios

Dangers and Threats
Ego-Related Conflicts
Loss of Control
Losing an Advantage
Power Struggles
Miscellaneous Challenges

Each scenario goes into how your character’s handling of this situation will show readers who they really are, offer ideas about what the fallout might be if they fail, what internal struggles this situation might cause for them, and more.
