It’s simple, because most books on writing craft emphasise these three aspects of writing (even if they give them different names) and powerful because conflict—internal and external—is the essence of good fiction. GMC gives a way of ensuring this is properly integrated into the entire plot, whether that is at the plotting, writing or revision stage.Dixon uses movies such as The Wizard of Oz and Indiana Jones to explain the concepts (in fact, she recommends readers watch the movies before reading the book, so they will get the full benefit).GMC is structured in four main sections: Goal, Motivation, Conflict and Scenes. Each section has a helpful list of the main points covered in the section, and the author is very persuasive in her belief that the GMC concept can help all writers, but that each writer can and will choose to apply the concept in a different way.Dixon also answers the question of why I don’t write fiction:“If conflict makes you uncomfortable or you have difficulty wrecking the lives of your characters, you need to consider another line of work.”Yes, I’ll stick with reading.I’ve read books that were obviously written using the GMC concept, and while I didn’t always like some of the characters, their purpose was clear. I’ve also read some books that obviously weren’t written based on the GMC concept, and they were lacking. Some were lacking conflict, some were lacking character goal, some were lacking in not having a single likeable character. Give conflict is the basis of all good fiction, authors will benefit from using an approach like this. Recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars excellent help *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024* This book is a true help to writers. I enjoyed devouring the principles of this book and have already started implementing what I’ve learned. I wish the newer version could be found in print because there’s a lot of areas where I wanted to flip back and forth between different areas of the book. So I settled for finding an older version in print to go along with my more recent kindle version. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great look at elements of writing *by V***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019* This is a clearly written guide that goes step by step into the writing process. It was easy to follow with great summaries at the end of each chapter and helpful ways to build charts that help keep important story points alive. The brainstorming chapter seemed superfluous but otherwise very helpful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/98578799-gmc-goal-motivation-and-conflict-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/98578799-gmc-goal-motivation-and-conflict-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
