Everyone Dies

An unlikeable character is going to be the most unlikely of protagonists. In the same vein, no one expects the most despicable, or lovable character, to be killed-off halfway through. This is a nice little twist that can have a reader reassess their predictions.

Push-On

It is far too common for a story to fissile out after the twists are all gone. Try to keep the momentum going.

The audience must remain with the story up until the end. Put in another clue that a character may come back, or that the plot may have another twist coming their way.

Feedback

A story is great fun to read, fun to write, but there is something in a writer’s brain that fills in plot holes. It is vital to have close friends or family to read your work.

They need to read and come back with objective points that need clearing up. Do not get offended, but they may have better twist suggestions. Listen to what they have to say, write it down and come back 2 days for modifications.
