This is why it's hard for me to write true full stories, such as a novel or screenplay. I dislike conflict. No, seriously, I've found that my favorite parts of movies and books are the harmonious parts, or perhaps the triumphant endings, but the real conflicts make me squirm.

Most of my "big" story ideas are simply the first acts.

Oh wait this is the movie thread
