Exercise #479: Craft
Posted 8/3/12
Furthering our journey to revisit plot, let’s look at plot twists.
I always enjoy a story more (whether reading or writing it!) if I don’t always see what’s coming up around the bend. I love a good novel that just keeps throwing curve balls. (I’m also a big fan of the old Twilight Zone series.)
For today’s exercise, take the following boring plot and give it a twist or two. Add to the plotline and then either:
* Give us your completed plot outline, with your twist(s), or
* Write your story!
Boring plot:
A. Boy meets girl
B. Boy loses girl
C. Boy gets girl back
Critiquers, along with the usual grammar, spelling, etc, review, consider these questions:
* Was this piece helpful to you as a writer?
* Why or why not?
Word limit: 250 for plot outline, 1200 for a story
Please use the subject line
