A book without any relationships would be seriously lacking in conflict. Which means you don’t have much of a story.
It doesn’t matter what genre you write, the relationships between your characters will drive the plot forwards, add depth to other characters, and create conflict.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why all relationships have consequences
- How to write LGBTQ+ relationships
- Mistakes writers make when writing relationships
- How to make sure relationships feel three-dimensional to readers
