Writing Excuses 10.39: Q&A on Plot Twists with Kevin J. Anderson

Kevin J. Anderson joined us at Sasquan/WorldCon 73 to take questions about plot twists. Here are the questions that came in from our live audience:

  • Genre Twists: good, bad, or ugly?
  • Can you compare and contrast a good plot twist with a bad one?
  • What is the biggest mistake professional authors make with regarding plot twists?

Homework: Try to remove your plot twist as a reveal, and see if the story still works.

Thing of the week: Clockwork Angels, by Kevin J. Anderson, narrated by Neil Peart.
