Susan fletcher dan brown6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A good writer decides the kind of twist the novel needs. Sometimes the twist will be subtle, revealing a little bit of character, whilst at other times they will change the course of the plot or even your entire understanding of the book. The first thing to bear in mind is that books can have their plot twisted in a number of different ways and some twists are more suited to certain genres. The power of the plot twist can be guttural to a reader, but how do good writers go about making a twist so compelling? A twist can be used in any genre of fiction to stop a story from becoming predictable or expose character traits. When the plot is driving in one direction, a writer quite often surprises the reader with something entirely different and unexpected. Martin’s Red Wedding, there are few things in fiction more memorable than a good plot twist. ***Warning!!
