I (Lara) am going on vacation! Sort of…moving isn’t really relaxing, is it? To get notified of when WriteLaraWrite is returning, be sure to subscribe to the blog, follow on Twitter, that sort of thing. (Use the buttons on the left column)

In lieu of a post this week, and to get you through the next couple of weeks while I pack up and move across country, I am going to send you fine people over to PaperWings Podcast!

PaperWings Podcast is a podcast and blog for comic writers and illustrators. They’ve got some really awesome posts about storytelling over there, and their recent posts about conflict are so good, I’m not even going to bother to write about the topic right now. Some people call it laziness, I call it resourcefulness and spreading the love. Chris and Lora are great people, and I think you’ll enjoy their words.

Without further adieu, here’s the series on conflict from PaperWings:

• Man Vs. Self: How To Create Heroes With Heart
• Man Vs. Nature: It’s More About Dying Than Surviving
• Man Vs. Society: Your Hero Will Change The World & The World Will Change Your Hero
• Man Vs. Machine: The Storyteller’s Frontier
• Man Vs. Man: The Hero’s Mirror

See you in a few weeks, my darlings! I will try to update when I can, but no promises until a few weeks from now. We will definitely be back to speed in August, so long as I have Internet. Or a babysitter so I can find some Internet.
