How do you write a story with a twist?

Answer 1

A "plot twist" is something unexpected. First, you need to know where your story is headed.

Make a list of things that happen in your story - this doesn't need to be complete sentences or anything, because it's just to help you think.

Then, think about logic - if these things happened, what would you expect to happen next? A "plot twist" has something else happen.

Your "twist" needs to be something that could actually happen - no flying saucers swooping down to rescue the hero unless you are writing a Science Fiction story with flying saucers already in it! - and it needs to be something that will solve whatever problems you've created in your story. It also needs to be something the reader does not expect.

Example: you have a character walking her dog. Here's your list:

• get leash, open door
• dog rushes out
• dog trips Tina

now - logic says Tina might fall down, maybe sprain something, maybe bump into somebody.

Here's a twist: Tina, who is a gymnast, does a perfect forward flip, clears all four steps, and sticks the landing on the sidewalk, directly in front of her hot new neighbor

Answer 2

To write a story with a twist, start by laying a foundation that readers can easily follow. Introduce subtle clues or hints throughout the story that lead in one direction, but ultimately reveal a surprising or unexpected turn of events near the end. Make sure the twist is significant and changes the reader's perception of the story. Practice foreshadowing and ensure the twist feels organic to the overall narrative.

Answer 3

Plot means what happens in the story. If you're writing a story, you're writing a plot.

Answer 4

first you write some thing that the person think is about to happen then you write some thing unpredictable.
