Brainstorm: Conflict

I’ve been looking for ways to add small brainstorming sessions into my day as I wait. With two kids, I do a lot of waiting. Yesterday, I managed to do my journal entry while I was waiting for DH’s car to be lubed.

Yesterday, while waiting to get the kids from school, I sat at the flagpole with my notebook in hand. I had about 25 minutes before the bell rang, so I decided to come up with a list of couples that I could refer to and pick a pair to explore at random.

I wasn’t looking for a list of just any old couples, but ones that would likely experience some naturally occurring conflicts. I haven’t decided if I’m going to use any of them or not.

Admittedly, many of them are more contemporary in nature than historical. I’d like to come up with some that are more specific to a Regency setting, but it wasn’t a requirement when I started the list.

Some make more sense on their own than others, feel free to use any as a jumping off point. If you don’t get my thinking, I’ll be happy to explain. Also, if you have any ideas for a great conflict that you don’t mind sharing with the world? Feel free to add them in a comment!
