Conflict and I are NOT friends

valiant_queeneI'm taking two creative writing classes this semester (one non-fiction, one fiction) in preparation for finishing my thesis in order to graduate next spring.
I was attempting to write a 50 page word fantasy novella, and I don't know how to fill in the pages. I know that it needs conflict and drama. But I don't want to write conflict. I don't like conflict. I like fluff, I like romance. I want to write about butterflies and rainbows and fluffy puppies, with everything coated in a layer of sugar thick enough to give every dentist within ten miles of me a panic-induced heart attack.
But conflict sells.
And gets me an A in my creative writing classes. *head desk*
