Laurie Schnebly Campbell - Challenging Couples in Love
While it's easy to create conflict between a hero and heroine whose kingdoms are at war, everyday life can be a tougher setting for plausible conflicts...especially when the hero and heroine are both lovable characters. But the same conflicts that trouble real-life couples -- plus the same solutions recommended by marriage counselors -- can work equally well for fictional couples. Laurie Schnebly Campbell draws on her own (and her marriage-counselor mother's) experience with couples, outlining ways to create tension between Mr. & Ms. Perfect...and ways to relieve it in time for the happy ending. She's given this workshop for RWA National and for Tucson's first chapter meeting. Her favorite comments came from one writer who said, "You saved my novel," followed by another who said, "You saved my marriage!"
