Plot Twist!

I love plot twists, and even more, I love writing them - especially when I wasn't even planning on it!  Seriously, the one I was kind of mulling over the idea of, but the way it plopped out on the paper was kind of like, "Wait... that actually happens?  And that's how?"

The other was completely out of nowhere.  Granted, it isn't a huge plot twist, and doesn't have too entirely much to do with the plot overall, but I think it'll definitely be good for shock value anyway.  It was to me, at least.

So, if you've never written, and you think you might like to, I would highly encourage it.  If anything, it gets brain cells moving, and you improve your vocabulary.  I cannot tell you how helpful it's been to have a dictionary and thesaurus right in the hard-drive-y depths of my computer.  Plus, if you really have a story to tell, TELL IT!  I love stories.  Because no matter how fictional they might be, they really are so, so real in an equal number of nonfiction ways.
