Myth Weaver
So, I think it is kind of a given that having great twists in a story is kind of a goal to itself. But I must say, I am not sure how many stories contain them, or how compelling they really are. Maybe in the mystery genre they matter more, but do they matter a whole lot? Do you find yourself holding back and sharing no secrets until its all written on the page and the readers can enjoy the surprise? Do you write with having a big twist in mind? Do you think stories need them? or might they just be for extra excitement? Is this a goal that one should aspire to....creating stories with great twisty stuff happening in them? And would it hurt a story, or an author, if they did not appear so often?
What do you think on writing twists into the story?
