aguacatito:campaignagainstcliche:- Ursula K. Le Guin [ID: Le Guin: Well, to preach that story is conflict, always to ask “where’s the conflict in your story?” —this needs some thinking about. If you say that story is about conflict, that plot must be based on conflict, you’re limiting your view of the world severely. And in a sense making a political statement: that life is conflict, so in stories conflict is all that really matters. This is simply untrue. To see life as a battle is a narrow, Social-Darwinist view, and a very masculine one. Conflict, of course, is part of life, I’m not saying you should try to keep it out of your stories, just that it’s not their only lifeblood. Stories are about a lot of different things.] -- source link
