What tips do you have for writing better conflict?

@ViperChief117

I’ve been writing for over ten years now. I struggled with writing conflict for awhile. But I think over time I’ve gotten better at creating barriers for my characters to overcome.

@sergioalcantar3290

It would be a good idea to marry a foreshadowing of the characters reaction to an oncoming salient event in the future by revealing a little during a small side conflict, so it rhymes/fits when it finally comes ahead.

Contact any former military, emergency responders, or merchant mariners you know.  I have to get out of life and death situations so many times that it becomes almost a habit.  I work as a freelance script, doctor in screen editor, and one of the things that I do immediately is figure out a better way for the characters to get out of a situation.  Remember that story is about likable characters getting themselves into a mess and having to change their character flaw in order to get themselves out of it.  They can't be saved by coincidence nor a rescue by clear eyed Athena. "Deus ex machina." A story is really a how to survive/win/stop/get (get rich, get the girl, etc) for someone with a particular personality or trait.  It's an indirect way to tell someone how to get out of the mess that they've gotten themselves into in real life.

@Sarah_CardinalFlix

Very wise.

@davidvognild

Looking forward to our chat tomorrow Paul

@coloursofniji

Can the hero’s goals change or there has to be just one goal throughout the film?

@baeskouw

"Sometimes you write yourself into a corner and can't get out of it -and if that happens you give up." (not 100% transcribed, but you get the gist) 
I agree with a lot of what he says, but this 'quote' provokes me, because the wonderful thing with writing is that you can always edit, or rewrite, or take a year or two to contemplate "how can I improve this scene.." or "how could my characters embody what I want said in a different way", or w.e.  Two thumbs up for great advice, but ehh.. nah to the giving up part.

@braydenb1581
