Conflict and Setting: The Key to Engaging Website Storytelling
Conflict is the lifeblood of storytelling, drawing readers in and keeping them engaged. It can be internal, as characters grapple with their own demons, or external, pitting them against opposing forces. Authors Whitney Quesenbery and Kevin Brooks delve into this in their book, 'Opposing Forces: How to Enhance Your Website Storytelling'.
The setting of a blog post serves as the backdrop for its action, helping to forge an emotional bond with the reader. Internal conflict, where characters struggle against themselves, can evoke empathy. External conflict, ranging from dramatic action like fighting off zombies to more subtle challenges like searching for survivors after an earthquake, adds drama and tension.
Quesenbery and Brooks argue that conflict is essential for engaging readers and increasing emotional resonance. They provide strategies for using setting effectively to keep readers interested from start to finish. An engaging narrative begins with an intriguing opening line and resolves conflicts clearly, making the tale more compelling.
In 'Opposing Forces', Quesenbery and Brooks show how to harness conflict and setting to enhance website storytelling. By understanding and utilizing these elements, bloggers can increase readership engagement and encourage content sharing. After all, a captivating story is the key to a reader's heart.
