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
