How many times have you read stories or watched films in which the seven deadly sins are at the heart of the plot? Lots I imagine, when you come to think of it, as sin leads to all kinds of conflicts and that's what creates the drama necessary for a story to be interesting.
Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride, when extreme, might be considered as character flaws and flawed characters are possibly the most engaging to read about and create.
Are you aware of the seven heavenly virtues?
Chastity
Temperance
Charity
Diligence
Patience
Kindness
Humility.
It is said that observation of the above protects us from temptation. (Temptation being the source of so many good stories from the Garden of Eden onward)
Could you write about them?
Maybe a poem or a performance piece - a series of monologues or one act plays.
Can you see how they too, when you interpret them, could be the source of conflict?
