[Libby Drew]

Some links with regards to Conflict vs Complication in writing plot.

 

Kristin Nelson, and

Tabitha Olsen

 

So, "Conflict is always personal" while "misunderstanding, distrust, and coincidence are all complications (and not conflict)".

 

I honestly don't believe I've ever thought of it that way.

 

As it's mostly agreed that stories require (1) conflict, and (2) some sort of resolution to that conflict
