Materi: Menggali Konflik dalam Cerita

Notulen: Anaya
Pernah gak sih kalian merasa jalan cerita kalian terkesan monoton? Atau udah buat cerita tapi melenceng dari bayangan?
Atau bahkan lebih parah melenceng sekali dari outline yang udah dibuat?
Kalian pasti pernah juga habis baca atau nonton cerita yang keren banget terus kalian terinspirasi dari cerita itu
Duh rasanya pengen banget gitu ya bisa bikin cerita keren kayak gitu
Jadi ujung-ujungya dari cerita yang udah dibuat bukannya sesuai outline malah pas dibaca ulang terkesan jadi agak mirip dengan cerita yang kalian sukai itu.
Tapi setelah berulang kali, mulai muncul suara-suara negatif dalam diri kalian, "Rasanya susah deh bikin cerita sehebat itu."
Sampe mungkin beberapa dari kalian mikir
Alur cerita berantakan, terlalu mainstream, atau bahkan terlalu banyak ide baru yang muncul sampe bingung sendiri mau nyelesain yang mana dulu.
Tapi pernah gak sih terlintas dalam pikiran kalian kalau semua hal negatif yang muncul di pikiran kalian sumber masalahnya hanya satu.
Konflik tidak digali dengan baik
Mau dikasih tau triknya gak?
1. biarkan tokohmu jadi manja
Nah maksudnya apa? Manja apaan? Ga jelas banget! Maksudnya gini.
biarkan tokohmu dengan mudah nyelesain konfliknya sendiri. Buat konflik itu semakin memuncak. Ada juga trik jitu biar cerita gak ngebosenin
Konflik-tenang-konflik 2-tenang-konflik 3-tenang, dst.
Makin mendekati akhir makin persulit tokohnya
Sadar ga sih? Semakin kalian buat tokoh kalian menderita semakin tinggi rasa simpati pembaca terhadap tokoh kalian
Memang mungkin pembaca bakal kesel sama kalian
Tapi secara ga sadar bikin pembaca tambah gregetan sendiri
Ngerasain ga?
Apa cuma aku aja?
2. plot twist
Pasti udah tau sendiri kan buat apa? Biar cerita kalian jadi tidak mudah ketebak. Ngeselin tuh kan. Ngarep endingnya tokoh utama bersatu eh taunya ada yang misahin. Padahal udah cinta banget sama tokohnya.
Aku kasih contoh aja ya
Kali ini pake cerita punyaku, genrenya fantasy, drama, action

(1) Taehyung di sini diceritain punya dua sisi kepribadian. Sejak dia umur lima tahun, dia sudah diganggu oleh wujud iblis. Karena itulah dia jadi dijauhi oleh sahabatnya termasuk keluarganya.
(2) Mingyu yang awalnya sebenarnya sahabat Taehyung ternyata berkhianat dengan membocorkan kepada semua orang kalau Taehyung itu sebenarnya bukan manusia normal.
(3) Karena itu, sifat Taehyung yang awalnya penyabar dan ramah berubah jadi pendiam dan mudah marah terhadap masalah sekecil apa pun.
(4) Taehyung bertemu dengan seseorang yang ternyata bisa mengendalikan wujud iblis yang selalu mengganggu kehidupannya. Orang itu ternyata sahabat dari orang yang telah mengkhianatinya, Mingyu.
(5) Namun ternyata orang itu juga yang menjadi penyebab mimpi buruk Taehyung selama ini.
Dari poin 1 - 5 sudah kelihatan kalau dari awal cerita konflik sudah terbentuk.
Tujuan utama Taehyung dalam hidup hanya satu.
Hidup selayaknya manusia normal. Hanya itu.
Tapi banyak halangan dari pihak luar yang malah terjadi. Kayak kasus Mingyu. Sahabat yang awalnya Taehyung percayai ternyata berkhianat. Anggapan Taehyung salah besar terhadapnya.
Orang yang paling dia percayailah yang justru paling membuatnya kecewa
Coba dari setiap konflik yang terjadi pertanyakan lagi pada tokohmu
Misalkan begini:
Q : Kenapa sifat Taehyung jadi berubah?
A : Karena setiap orang yang Taehyung percayai, termasuk Mingyu adalah orang yang bermuka dua
Nyesek kan?
Q : Kenapa Mingyu berkhianat dan kenapa setiap orang justru jadi munafik terhadapnya?
A : Karena mereka hanya ingin memanfaatkan Taehyung yang latar belakangnya dari keluarga kaya raya. Mingyu iri kepada Taehyung karena bisa mendapatkan semua yang dia inginkan tapi sulit untuk dia dapatkan.
Dengan membuat serentet pertanyaan kayak tadi, kamu pasti akan semakin mengenal tokoh dan ceritamu. Setiap konflik atau peristiwa yang terjadi diusahakan ada alasan kenapa itu bisa terjadi. Kenal atuh harusnya. Makin kenal pasti makin sayang . Makin tipis kemungkinan gak ngelanjutin cerita.
Karena kamunya sendiri ngerasa ga tega. Karena uda kelanjur nyaman. Melakukan plot twist juga tapi jangan keseringan. Lakukan dengan porsi yang pas. Layaknya meracik masakan, terlalu banyak garam justru membuat makanan terasa aneh atau terlalu asin.
Terlalu sedikit juga tidak bagus karena rasanya akan hambar, tidak ada 'sesuatu' yang membuatnya terasa istimewa.
Semoga materi yang dishare bermanfaat untuk para Fams yang membacanya.
Kami menerina saran dan kritik. Terima kasih 🙏

Embrace the Blade [Drafts 1&2]
James Ransom grew up unable to do the simplest of life’s tasks. Legs were malformed; he was in a wheel chair as long as he could remember. Suffering from a severe form of muscular exhaustion making him unable to use his hands for long despite his resolve to fight through it. All the challenges facing him he still was able to enjoy reading and video games; but a tragic car accident will change his life forever and perhaps he will be given the opportunity to reincarnate into another world. Special thanks to Mikaelle for the Synopsis. This is my first book/fic so constructive critisism would be very nice. Expect a lot of grammatical errors but hopefully not too many spelling errors. Explanation for the tags; Action/Adventure/Fantasy: These don't really need an explanation, Comedy: I'll try to be funny hopefully I won't fail miserably, Romance: I like romantic sub-plots, LitRPG: No explanation needed but I am using my own system, Reincarnation/Summoned Hero: Not sure which one applies here I'm inclined to think both so I put both, Reader Interactive: I put this one here for my own amusment I'll allow everyone to help create the MC's love interest and maybe a few other things we will also hold a few contests.. Male Lead: self explanitory, Magic: Also easy, Strong Lead: Think of this as more of a weak-to-strong tag the MC will be OP but not till later in the story. Warning: Since this fic is labeled as 'Strategy' I believe that the readers should know as much as possible about the situations presented in the story so they can reach their own conclusions about how a fight could have been won or lost. That means: there are a lot of information dumps early on. I don't know how long I'll be able to write this fic but I promise to keep my few readers informed in case I decide to drop it or something.

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
