What Are Plot Twists?

Plot twists are changes in a novel, short story, movie, or TV series that subvert expectations. They don’t follow the linear path that may have been suggested by an author at the start of the story. When properly executed, these misdirections genuinely surprise the audience and thereby enhance their engagement.
Why Are Plot Twists Important to a Story?

Plot twists keep audiences engaged in your story. When they appear near the midway point of a narrative, they grip your audience’s attention and inspire the careful study of all the details that will follow.

When they appear at the end of the film or in the final pages of a novel, they tend to form the lasting memories that an audience associates with your narrative. (For instance, not many people can tell you all the plot points of The Usual Suspects, but they can all remember the shocking twist ending, which upends the whole outcome of the plot).
So, watch this video till the end and learn more about how to Create Twists When Writing.
