When I was in the 7th grade on a day when we were't diagramming sentences my english teacher said something about themes in fiction. She said that every story has a conflict to be resolved.
Man vs. Nature
Man vs. Society
Man vs. Man
Man vs. Machine
Man vs. Self
Conflict is at the heart of a story. It motivates the characters and drives the story from point A to point B.
Conflicts in my life are banal
Girl vs. Alarm clock
Girl vs. Cat
Girl vs. Clutter
Girl vs. Parking meter
Girl vs. Apathy
Girl vs. Writer's block
Girl vs. Microsoft product
Girl vs. Twinkie
An idiosyncratic and non sequitorial examination of the contents of one head.
