: Re: Double lies as sources of conflict in a single arc My protagonist lives with a deep lie that causes internal conflict and pain throughout the story but it basically cannot fuel any struggle

Different levels of complexity are necessary for different types of readers. If youâ€™re writing for kids, theyâ€™ll only really keep track of one thing. But for young adults and above, I think this is appropriate. Readers are smart and they love to wrestle with more difficult things like that.

While youâ€™re writing, just go with it and donâ€™t think about it. Leave the analyzation for later. If it turns out that having two lies to overcome is too confusing, in your second draft you can revise it so that one takes center stage and the other fades into the background. Or perhaps you can remove one entirely. Just see how it plays out, and youâ€™ll know if it feels right or if you need to change it.
