With a twisted look of pain, I try to add a third act twist and fall
flat on my face. Normal? Expected? Of course! For me, that is, trying to
work out the three act, three disasters, trying to fit it into my plot,
sometimes it's just the piece of the puzzle, sometimes from a
completely different puzzle that got mixed up with mine. Surprised?
Astonished? Flabbergasted? Well, if you're not, I won't be offended,
(hope you're not offended). Do what you've been doing and if that's not
working, take advise, lots of advise, it helps. So, back to me falling
flat on my face.... No, let's not go there. There should be something
expected, absolutely! But if you're really going for a plot that makes
sense and is captivated, it's fair to think that first, second and forth
and a half act twists will pop up out of nowhere! Okay, not nowhere,
somewhere, your brain, your experiences. Although, it will appear out of
seemingly empty space if you let it. Don't feel restricted by modes or
cookie cutter ways for plot design. Do feel restricted by moral
standards! In other words, don't go beyond that boundary that we all
know is there but try to forget. There is a line.
