And, yes, I had already noticed that this was needed. If I can create other tensions, the overall level of tension will increase. What does this reveal? That I need to do a much better job! As Bell pointed out, I need more conflict between the “good guys” and not all of it needs to be based on the murder. WikiMatrix The International and PAL versions of the game include an optional 'Expert' version of the Sphere Grid in these versions, all of the characters start in the middle of the grid and may follow whichever path the player chooses. Sure, the murder creates conflict but mostly it is between this group of characters (less Steven who is in another city) and the pool of suspects. That expanded the grid to 6 × 6, allowing 36 characters to be used. That’s the situation with my character conflict. Using my other characters, I filled in what is already in the story. She distrusts men at this point in her life but I’ve already realized how thin that was wearing by the 3/4 mark. As you can see, the only conflict Clara has with the other characters is based on her husband’s actions. She leaves him right before the cozy begins because she caught him “in the act.” But as I started to fill in my grid I realized how many opportunities for conflict I was missing.

Character grids are made using latex/grid.tex with various options. What better way to create conflict than to have something between characters who are working together?
Character grids how to#
I realized that I had missed some prime opportunities for character conflict in my cozy when I read “ The 5 C’s of Writing A Great Thriller Novel” by James Scott Bell.īell showed readers how to use a character conflict chart to make sure that there is some kind of conflict between every pair of characters, especially those who are allies. There are three C’s that you can never have too much of – chocolate, coffee and conflict between the characters in your story.
