Don’t make the solution easy or obvious. If characters deal with their problems without struggling at least a little first, then the reader will be bored. If characters struggle with the problems because they seem to lack common sense or are otherwise unbelievably ignorant, then the reader will get frustrated and think your characters are idiots. It’s satisfying to see characters overcome legitimate challenges, not easily solved issues.

Make the stakes clear and sufficiently high. To be clear, I’m not saying that every story needs super high stakes. Not every story needs to have the fate of the world at stake. However, the stakes need to be high enough for the reader to care about the conflict’s outcome. There need to be legitimate, lasting consequences for failure. The consequences can be small in the grand scheme of things (Little Timmy isn’t going to be bullied for the rest of his life just because he lost a race), but they should at least seem important in the near future. As for why you should make the stakes clear, that’s easy. Readers will have a hard time getting invested in your story if they don’t know what your main character stands to lose or gain based on how they handle the conflict. For example, readers won’t care about a random race, but they will care if it’s a championship race and/or a race again someone who is important to the character.

Remember that internal and external conflict work in tandem. Characters seldom have to deal with just one or the other. Use both types of conflict simultaneously to heighten your story’s emotional impact.

Leave the reader guessing what the outcome will be until the conflict is resolved. Don’t make it obvious if the character will succeed or fail. Readers will lose interest if they can easily tell how the story will end. To accomplish this, make sure your characters face plenty of obstacles as they deal with the main conflict. Even the road to success is a bumpy one. Plus, seeing your characters struggle to succeed will make it that much more satisfying if they do or heartbreaking if they don’t.

Conflict can start because of a coincidence, but it should never end because of one. Using a coincidence to solve a conflict will make your readers feel let down and cheated. 

“There’s no place for you here.”

“I’m not a boy anymore. I can handle my own.”

“He’s from a country of fallen leaves where the trees are still blooming.”

“My heart is made of stone and covered in a pretty layer of ice.”

“This country doesn’t need change. Just a better ruler.”

“I stripped you of everything you had, yet you still want to fight?”

“I am NOT laughing!”

“There’s something about you I can’t quite replace…”

“She has built an empire of driftwood. All I’ll need is a little spark…”

“I am a woman of promises.”

“I know who you are. They call you the Firebird, don’t they?”

“Go! I can only buy you so much time…”

“I don’t want to repeat the mistakes of the past. I’m sorry.”

“He’s a coward, hiding behind a mask made out of lies.”

“No amount of tears will solve it. Now stand up and run.”

“I hope they’ll build a statue of you one day.”

“Today will make or break us. It’d rather it be the first option.”

“She’s fiercer than the wind, yet weaker than a strangled breath.”

“Oh, is that true? Too bad I’ll have to kill you now…”

“In doubt… look up at the sky.”

“You’re too good at this for just a simple sailor.”

“In the end, home is just the place I want to come back to.”

“I’m not crying, it’s just the rain.”

“If you can’t live without someone, then learn how to.”

“The raging sea never takes pity.”

“So what if it was me? What if you’ve been looking for me all along?”
