I am a WIP writer and all I have to say is: If the main character has a high effect on the other characters, kill the main character and continue the story. Angst levels are high.
Also, reveal that the quiet kind character is hiding the darkest backstory and make them go insane from hiding their pain so that they turn evil and eventually kill themselves
I read toa I went back and re read pjo That was fine Then I made the mistake of rereading hoo I cried literally every five pages like RICK WHY DID YOU KILL HIM!!! 😭😭😭😭
Don't do a plot twist for the sake of plot twists; try to make one that ties into your themes and plot coherently. Another piece of advice I've heard for plot twists is to do it through information being revealed (Brandon Sanderson is very good at this, so look to his works for examples). If you take something that the characters/reader doesn't know (or even something that the characters/ some of them know but the reader does not) and reveal it in a compelling manner, it can work so well.
Edit: i don't know what I was doing with this idea, why'd I even comment this lol Another idea: in the beginning of the story, have two main characters (or just a main character with a very important side character) With one character being more important to the story than the other. The story starts off with the two reaching for a goal, but the other less important main character is just trying to help the other character achieve that goal. It should be clear that the first main character isn’t quite going to last somehow. Then, the big battle comes a bit too earlier and the main character is killed off, leaving the other character alone. Then the story starts to circle around the remaining character, and then from that side character you get a main character. So basically just a change of main character
I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine how hard that was. May he rest in peace. I’m sure he is so proud of you, and was so lucky to have a grandchild like you in his life. I’m here for you! Take as long as you need to grieve, and do whatever is best for you, ❤❤
I have this story idea, I’m putting it here because I’m too lazy to write it down on paper or the notes app as an ACTUAL FINISHED STORY WITH DETAILS AND EVENTS so here’s an overview because I’m not extending this to become a full of story cuz I’m lazy It’s about a musician from the regency era (could also be Victorian but that’s up to you if you wanna change the setting to an era of time where musicians were actually just as influential as Mozart or Beethoven) who made music for the prince because she loved him but he didn’t love her back This musician was performing for the royal family since she was young, and from one of her grand performances, she met the young prince of the royal family and soon became good friends with him. When they grew up into aspiring teenagers, the musician started realizing that her feelings weren’t normal and that she was actually in love with the prince. She was too shy to confess, but it was clear that she liked him. Though the musician was clearly acting strange, the prince didn’t give a shit about her constantly red face because he didn’t actually like her. The musician started writing songs like she always did, thinking of melodies and constantly practicing the music sheet. Despite their closeness, the prince only ever saw her as his friend who made music and played instruments, but he never knew that she was also a poet. In fact, nobody did. The poems she made were meant to replace some parts of the song like lyrics, especially those notes on a higher octave. But she never included the lyrics as they were actually secret love letters for him which she would never dare expose to anyone that wasn’t herself. One day, she made a song so darn melancholic,that you can actually feel the sadness and hopelessness from the song on a spiritual level. It was suggested to her that she perform it on the night of the grand theater festival, so she played it. By the time she was done, she spotted the prince’s chair amidst the roaring crowd of both nobles and ordinary people cheering for her. There, she saw an unfamiliar but beautiful princess chatting with the prince, this princess later introduced herself to the musician and compliment her so much that the musician could’ve literally fainted. The prince, musician, and princess later became a trio of friends however the musician felt as if she was just the third wheel to their love story. “The world seemingly glimmers whenever my eyes land on you, but your eyes shine like a thousand stars whenever you gaze into her beautiful eyes.” The musician wrote in a poem. As the days passed by, the prince and princess started to get closer and closer, whilst the musician’s music grew sadder and desperate as she yearned for his attention.
Continuation The musician didn’t even know why they were leaving her out, even if she couldn’t get the prince to love her back, being friends with him would’ve been enough for her. Until one day, the prince approached the musician like how he used to before the princess stole his attention away from the musician. Same type of conversation, but it felt rather forced, and lacked the flavor of their usual conversations. But the musician didn’t care, because hey atleast he noticed her, right? This proceeded for days, the prince started talking to the musician more, started showing more interest in her, but at the same time he was getting closer and closer to the princess. The prince’s sudden interest gave the musician false hope. She knew she would only ever be friends with the prince, but can’t help feel adored by this attention. As this point, the musician was desperate as hell. If he knew that she knew he didn’t like her, why was he making her feel this way, on purpose? “You’re only making me hope because you know I love you, but I know you dont love me so why fabricate this interest of yours? The absence of hope is better than the presence of false hope.” The musician wrote with teary eyes with a heart aching of hopelessness. A few weeks passed, the prince stopped and the two haven’t seen eachother for a while. Both the prince and princess were gone, but occasionally the princess would be present in the palace garden from time to time looking both anxious and happy. One afternoon, the musician sat by the princess who was laying in the grass gazing into the clouds and asked what the two were so busy about that they would be gone for weeks. The musician hid her shattered heart with an emotionless face as the princess declared to her that she and the prince were getting engaged. All those weeks of absence, all those weeks of hoping that the prince would finally return to her, all those weeks of not seeing eachother happened because the two royal families decided that the princess marry the prince for political benefit. The musician wanted to doubt, she disguised her hope as concern and asked “for political reasons? Does that sound alright to you? You’re marrying someone for someone else’s benefit, are you sure you’ll be ok?” To the musician’s heartbreak, the princess replied with “it doesn’t matter if it’s political or not, I love him and he loves me! Dont worry, it won’t be a loveless marriage. We’re going to last forever once we marry”. The princess was so happy but on the other hand the musician’s heart was shattering into a billion pieces whilst she did her best not to let a single tear fall from her eye. The next few days were full of hopelessness and sadness. He was betrothed to another. He loved another. And I.. was only his friend. A friend who he would occasionally notice and then ignore for an entire week. I hoped, but now I can only admire from afar as in a few months he’ll marry her and I can never love him again. Not knowing what to do to forget him, she put all of her emotion and desperation into a music sheet that would immediately become one of her most dramatic and expressive compositions ever. During those days, the princess started pushing the musician away from the prince as it became clear the musician loved the prince but not entirely as she still admired her as a friend. She was invited to the wedding, but the princess told her “please don’t love him any more. He loves another, and that person is me. I don’t want you to disrupt us” like the musician was already trying to forget him by trying to release all of her emotions into this grand piece she’s about to play at the grand celebration of the kingdom’s alliances. During that month, the prince actually reached out to her and asked if she was ok. The musician didn’t respond properly but did state in a letter back that she won’t be able to see him for a while because she’s too busy composing the piece for the celebration. The prince sent another letter back, acting like he’s clueless of everything (he is actually) and expressed in the letter how good of a friend the musician is to him and how he wants her to come to his wedding. The prince never received a response, and thought the musician never received it, but the musician did in fact receive and read it and was greatly saddened by it. Only then when she wasnt talking to him anymore did he consider her as a friend, but when the three of them were friends, never did he treat her like she was also his friend despite knowing eachother since childhood. It was the night of the grand celebration, after the speeches have passed, it was time for the musician to perform the composition made from the shattered pieces of her heart. The lights went dim, the nobles were in awe, the political figures were intrigued, the royal families were excited, then from a simple piano as the lead, the theater’s violinists and cello players, and echoing voice, came out a gorgeous melody, conveying the pain of loving someone who does not love you. Cadences full of desperation, the sweet hidden undertones expressing the happiness from admiration, and the melancholy of the bittersweet piece which consisted of segments from her previous compositions made the audience’s hearts ache even if they never felt that way. And then, the musician did something she would’ve never done before: the poem she made as lyrics, which back then would have never even DARED to say before, made an entrance. The prince knew the musician was talented in multiple fields of expertise, but due to his lack proper communication with her, he never knew knew she could actually sing. And then the right-hand notes played on the piano were later replaced with her vocals. The lyrics, if summarized, stated that “love is pain, desperation is hell. I loved you, but you are not mine. I shall forever support you loving another, but farewell”. By the time the song ended, the whole audience cheered and roared. All except for the prince who had just realized what may have happened to the musician. He rushed backstage, and frantically searched for the musician, only to find her packing her bags. He asked “are you still going to attend the wedding next month?? what do you mean by farewell? You wrote the lyrics, right? I didn’t even know you could sing.” With tired eyes, the musician looked back at the prince and said “do you think it was written for you? I wanted you to know so much, but I couldn’t even get you to talk to me again. I’m going to pack my bags, I have family to deal with in the east. Farewell, I still adore you, I will support you, but it would be incredibly unrealistic of you to expect.” And from that day on, the prince and musician never saw eachother again. A week before the wedding, the prince was led by his curiosity to visit the dorm near the theater where the musician used to live. As if it was planned by fate, the door was unlocked and the prince went inside. There was no furniture left, except for the desk where the musician used to write her music sheets on, along with the chair and cabinet where she stored her instrument in. In the drawer, he found all of the poems she wrote for him, from the day they first became actual friends to the day when she found out he and the princess were getting married. What really broke him the most thp, was when he opened the cabinet to find the tiny little violin the musician played when they were still kids, reminding him that those days will never return as it is very unlikely that he will meet the musician again. Then the prince realized , that if he couldnt love her, then he could’ve atleast treated her like a friend instead of making her hope because of a simple hypothesis in this head. The wedding came, but the musician was no where to be seen, the prince was happy to be married to the princess, however deep inside he felt guilty as his dear friend since childhood can no longer meet him anymore, as he had toyed with her because of a guess he had. During their last days as friends, he didn’t even treat her like one. He either ignored her, or made her hope for nothing. Two days after the wedding, the musician sent him one last letter, saying that she will always support him, and appreciate the days when they were friends. But up to now, the musician still loved him even tho he was already betrothed to another, to avoid being the cause of stress in their marriage, the musician distanced herself from the couple for their own good and hers. The musician spent the rest of her life making music, performing in grand theaters far from the city where the palace was located, and soon forgot about the time she wished on dandelions so that he could be hers. Ok good night
holy shit....😭 what theㅡ bro... this is a masterpiece. I mean, I wouldn't ever dared to read such a long message but the first comment for this story had already caught my attention and I couldn't help reading ALL of it. Tugging in my emotions man. This is very good!!! And honestly relatable... you should probably write this if you could cuz holy damn this is SHEESH😭❤️
Tips for writing. 1. When u start a book, start with the peak and then GO back tk the start. For example, lets say ur writing a horror book. Start with a scene of someone running from a ghost OR something and put much action/ emotions. Then suddenly, with out showing what happens In The end, (for example dont show if the ghost killed the person OR anything) go back to something like "3 days before" and show that person sitting in his house peacefully. This way u will earn the rraders Attention and get the interested to read till the end to see what happened. 2. End a Chapter with a cliffhanger so the reader wants to read the next to see what happens. 3. Use this. When everything goes calmly and well OR it doesnt matter whats happening, put a - noticable OR not- hint for what happens later. Example: lets say someone is talking on the phone on ur book and he is cooking same time...and he says on the phone "one day i will Take that knife over there and kill everyone".... Thats a "hint" of what will happen later In The book so u may keep reading to see if he will actually do it...
Well what's important is don't make the foreshadowing too obvious. Subtlety is important. But make it obvious enough that if the reader is paying attention, they'll remember the foreshadowing when the foreshadowed thing happens!
Also if a few people guess what the twist is, that’s usually a good thing. You don’t want plot twists to be entirely unpredictable bc that’s just poorly written, what you want is to control how easily people might find out.
Then let people find out that none of their made-up scenarios don't really end up being written, but it's something so unexpected that should blow their minds and keep on thinking. Nice!
@@grgry06It’s like Hans vs Omni man. Hans being evil in frozen was the dumbest thing ever, absolutely zero indication of it, feels, my mind isn’t blown because I’m too busy thinking “that Litteraly came out of nowhere in the worst way possible”. Now take Omni man, he can be a bit apathetic, but is overall set up as a Superman and loving dad, until you randomly see him just murder the most powerful people in the world who are also supposed to be his closest friends. Than you can look back at the episode after the full twist is explained, the silence when mark gets his powers when he realizes he can’t play house anymore, the full force gut punch to Mark, and best of all the “earth isn’t yours to conquer” line. Anyway, having a twist come out of nowhere with zero foreshadowing is boring and doesn’t blow my mind just makes me sigh and think “now that’s just lazy writing”
"Kill off an important character" - any character that is killed off should have had enough 'on the page' time for the reader to care about them. otherwise the death doesn't have enough weight and the reader may not be able to connect with the stakes or emotional pain.
I wanna be a fictional author I mean writing is fun I will try to foreshadow when I will be writing my dream novel for now I am only writing a small novel of 5 Chapters or 5 Google Docs Pages 😅
I’m 14 and I’ve never really cared for writing, but at 1:30 am last night I got a big inspiration for a OC I had been drawing, and this is what I came up with for the first chapter. If anyone spares the time to read it I’d always appreciate feedback and criticism on how to back it better! TW: intense violence, gore, and abuse I stare into my fathers eyes, frozen in fear as he looms over me with a hatchet in his hand. It’s the second time I’ve tried to run away and he is absolutely furious. Apparently I didn’t learn my lesson last time so he’s going to make sure I do now. He raises the hatchet and before I can move, he slashes it across my face and I stumble backwards and fall to the ground, screaming. I can’t think, pain clouds my mind, my whole body hurts even though the gash only spans through my eye and across the the other side of my face- or at least, that’s what it feels like. Blood runs down into my mouth, the warm, metallic taste mixing with the raw pain and fear. The initial shock fades and I can think again, I scramble backwards as he goes for another swing. I raise my arm to protect my face, feeling sharp, intense pain as the hatchet bites into my forearm. I scream again, feeling the blood run down my arm. My father grunts angrily as he raises the hatchet for a third time. “Please!” I beg. “Stop!” He almost swings again before lowering and dropping the bloody hatchet. “I hope you’ve learned your lesson this time” he snarls as he turns away heads back to the cabin. Adrenaline and shock course through my veins. I try to slow my breathing, lowering my arm with a groan from the pain. I sit on the ground, trying to process what just happened. I look around at the all too familiar trees that surround the cabin. The sun is starting to set, I look up at the little sky that is visible through the trees, its a nice sunset, orange sky, pink clouds. today would be a beautiful day, if not for what had happened. This isn’t the first time he’s done something like this, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. I need focus on is getting into the cabin and taking care of these wounds. It’s a bit short and i probably will make it longer, but this is what I have written so far.
It's a really fast paced first chapter, I would improve on the brevity, and think about what would happen after this. From what I read, I'm assuming it's a story about his escape, I would also utilize punchuation marks to fit the pacing. examples of what I would change from paregraph 3: "I stare into the hatchet, raised, I struggle, I panic, I reach for a lunge- wait, I can't move. I see a slash, my face? I finally stumble backwards, falling to the hard ground, a scream escapes my mouth." See how I broke up the sentence into smaller parts to make it faster, and changed "he" to "I" in order to make it seem more personal, along with using actions to help readers visualize what's going on rather than just telling them in order to create a vivid imagery. Heres another example from paragraph 6: "A cold tingle trembles throughout my body as I see him ready a second swing. I scream. I brace for the pain. I start- "I hope you learned your lesson this time," I drew a blank. "I said, I hope you learned your lesson this time." I'm still alive, am I saved? Was I forgiven?"
"Kill off important character" Yep, been there done that Also, here's a tip for making a character's death hurt, give them screentime, make them overcome some type of internal fear, and make their death impact the other characters.
Idea: The villain is actually the main character but to make it fun. Make the villain annoying or like the other antagonist so that many people will get annoyed by him/her and also make the fake main character take the part like they are actually the main character and at the end the villain will defeat the (fake) main character and said " WHO SAYS A VILLAIN CANT BE THE MAIN CHARACTER"
I like your idea,but at least add someone who is REAL EVIL and the fake main will fight him but defeat, and then The Villain Coming From Shadow and Defeat the Evil for fun. But he got praised instead
Fr, I need to not be given ideas tho ☠️ Last betrayal arc the person who betrayed them was really just someone else posing as them so they got hallucinations level betrayed by someone they didn't even know ☠️
I've been working on my storyline for a few years now. Remembered every character and their designs, lore and even facts about them. Yet to start an animation series because im still only 17 and not able to do animate that well yet but am planning to in the future.
I won the school award for writing because I had one of the best plot twists and to this day I think it wasn't earned but one of the judges said "It defined Insanity at its greatness. It went into an ocean of psychoticness and that's what made it amazing" so now I think I have to turn it into a book otherwise who am I
I'm currently writing about a girl growing up with her two friends in a time of war and when she gets older she learns she can't die so she has to watch her friends die and goes through multiple wars
Yes, some books I absolutely LOVE have character/s killed off but just remember, that not all stories need character death to be considered a “good” story.

Kill off an important character: In the bustling city of Brooksville, amidst the chaotic streets and busy sidewalks, there was a nondescript coffee shop tucked away in a quiet corner. Its barista, Emily, seemed to blend into the background, her warm smile and gentle demeanor often overlooked by the hurried patrons. For Alex, a regular at the coffee shop, Emily's presence was a comforting constant in the whirlwind of his daily life. He would often exchange casual pleasantries with her as she prepared his usual order, never realizing just how much her kindness meant to him. But one fateful day, tragedy struck. A senseless accident claimed Emily's life, leaving behind a void that echoed in the hearts of those who had taken her presence for granted. Alex, upon hearing the news, felt as though a piece of his world had been torn away, leaving him adrift in a sea of grief and regret. Haunted by the memories of their brief interactions, Alex found himself consumed by sorrow, unable to find solace in the familiar routines of his daily life. The once bustling coffee shop now seemed empty and lifeless without Emily's cheerful presence, a constant reminder of the void left in her wake. As Alex grappled with his overwhelming sadness, he realized the profound impact that Emily had made on his life, her seemingly insignificant role in his world now revealed to be irreplaceable. And though he knew that the pain of her loss would never truly fade, he vowed to honor her memory by cherishing the connections that he held dear, no matter how small they may seem. Elevate a seemingly minor character: In the heart of the bustling city, amidst the chaos of urban life, there was a modest apartment tucked away in a quiet corner. Within its walls lived a young writer named Alex, whose words danced across the page like poetry, weaving tales of love and loss that touched the hearts of readers far and wide. Though he may have seemed like just another struggling artist, Alex's gift for storytelling was anything but ordinary. With each stroke of his pen, he breathed life into characters and worlds, transporting his readers to realms of imagination and wonder. But it wasn't just his talent that set Alex apart; it was his kindness and empathy that truly made him extraordinary. In a world that often felt cold and indifferent, Alex took the time to listen to those around him, offering words of encouragement and support to fellow writers and dreamers who crossed his path. As his reputation grew, so too did the community that surrounded him. Writers from all walks of life flocked to his apartment, drawn by the warmth and camaraderie that permeated the space. They shared their stories and their struggles, finding solace in the company of kindred spirits who understood the trials and triumphs of the creative journey. And though he may have remained behind the scenes, content to work his magic in the quiet corners of his apartment, Alex's influence reached far beyond its walls. Through his words and his actions, he inspired others to chase their dreams and embrace their passions, leaving a legacy of creativity and compassion that would endure long after he was gone. For in a world that often overlooked the seemingly minor characters, Alex reminded us all of the extraordinary power of art and storytelling to change lives and bring people together. Hope this work! Love all you guys, stay safe ❤
I feel like writing something in the comments, so here: It’s 6 in the morning, and the sun rays shine through the blinds, your skin feeling its warmth. You woke up earlier than usual, it’s your weekend. You pull your blanket down, and get off your bed. The sounds of slight chirping and cars driving by are heard behind your window. You put your slippers on, and leave the room, closing the door behind you. It’s more warm and comfortable outside, more light passes through a bigger window. You decide to go on a stroll to the forest nearby. Walking on the sturdy cobblestone path, a flock of birds pass above you. Mushrooms in small crevasses, and flowers blooming, both in shade and light. The grass soft and healthy green, and the trees tall and full of leaves. You continue your journey while admiring all of its beautiful offerings.
"Kill off an important character" Well i have a question for yall then - Do authors cry when they kill my favorite character? Or do they just sit down, laugh, and have a cup of tea with Satan?
In the quirky town of Giggleville, an extraordinary phenomenon was unfolding. Laughter, that joyous sound that usually vanished into thin air, had taken on a life of its own. People's chuckles and guffaws now manifested as shimmering bubbles that hung in the air, creating an atmosphere of perpetual amusement. At the heart of this whimsical town lived Tommy, a mischievous young lad with a perpetual twinkle in his eye. He was the first to realize the hilarious potential of the laughter bubbles. It all began one sunny morning when he burst out with a joke so hilarious that not only did the townsfolk erupt in laughter, but the air around them seemed to dance with sparkling bubbles. "What's orange and sounds like a parrot?" Tommy asked, barely containing his own laughter. The crowd, now accustomed to the playful transformation, eagerly waited for the punchline. "A carrot!" he exclaimed, and the result was uproarious laughter accompanied by a spectacle of multicolored bubbles that floated up to the sky. Word spread like wildfire, and Giggleville quickly became a destination for seekers of mirth from all around. Tourists flocked to the town, ready to be part of this unique experience. Laughter clubs and bubble-catching contests sprouted up, with participants competing to catch the biggest, shiniest bubble. Local businesses embraced the bubbling trend. Bubble-themed cafes served frothy drinks that created mini laughter bubbles with every sip. The town's hair salon even introduced the "Bubble Coiffure" - a hairstyle that allowed customers to wear a small, stylish bubble on their heads. As the craze grew, so did the challenges. Bubble-catching competitions became fierce battles of wits and agility. Children fashioned bubble pets, dreamily watching as their laughter-filled companions drifted alongside them. The town's school introduced a "Bubble Physics" class, where students learned the science behind the laughter-to-bubble conversion. However, not everyone was thrilled. Grumpy Gus, the local skeptic, couldn't stand the merriment. He grumbled about how bubbles should stay in soap bottles and how laughter should remain fleeting. But even his protests couldn't dampen the town's spirit. In fact, his grumbling led to a new game - Bubble Dodging, where participants tried to navigate the town avoiding Gus's glum aura and bursts of negativity. In the midst of all this, Tommy remained the town's laughter guru. His knack for cracking jokes was unmatched, and his comedic timing impeccable. Tourists and locals alike would gather around him, waiting for his next witty quip. He turned laughter into an art form, using it to connect people and make the town a happier place. One day, Tommy gathered everyone at the town square for an announcement. With a twinkle in his eye, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Giggleville is proof that even the simplest joys can create a world of wonder. Let's remember that life's best moments are those shared with laughter and friends." The crowd erupted in applause and laughter, sending a dazzling array of bubbles into the sky. And as the sun set over Giggleville, the laughter bubbles glowed like a million stars, reminding everyone that in a world of bubbles and laughter, happiness was never far away.

The best plot twists are the ones that dont just come out of nowhere. They may floor the reader, but when it's reread, there are hints. Have the characters (and readers) be told a lie or make an assumption, and then make the reveal
@@Panensi bro I feel you. I only have one character in my novel. It makes sense I swear 😭 I don’t want to summarize the entire thing, but my main character is the antagonist, and everyone else isn’t real. 😭 It makes sense I swear 😭😭😭

i have this idea, where a teenage girl in our reality unhesitantly enters a portal made by a elf wizard scientist somethin because she lost her mom and thought that this new world that she's in will be better than ours but in reality it's nothing different.(honestly I've taken alot of inspiration from toh and Harry potter. can't wait to write)
Ok so totally unrelated but what's the name of this song, I've been searching for it for ages. Also thanks for the tips! I only write stuff for myself, but still thanks!
Okay Here's The Plot And What's The Rough Idea: So Because The Physical World Only Exists In Certain Parameters That May Or May Not Be Observed By Us But That's Only The Universe We Know', So There Exists A Sequence Of Other Super-Physical Realities That Are Left Completely Isolated Apart From Each Other, But Because Of A Disturbance In The Force That Governs These Worlds Which Resulted In A Creature Going Rouge And Is Now Being Present In Both Realities, Because Of The Non-compactible Intermingling Of The Certain Physical And Non-Physical Properties Of These Two Realms, The Creature Is Now Become Corrupt, An Anamoly Which Could Cause Catastrophic Events For Both Mankind And The Possible Existence Of Our Universe, It Couldn't Be Taken Down With Conventional Weaponry As It Is Beyond The Mechanics Our World' Now The Root Of The Disturbance In The Force Keeping Order Of These Realms Is Yet To Be Discovered, But Mankind Still Don't Have Anything To Begin With, Which Only Leaves An Option Which Is To Inspect The Souces Of Anomalies In Space Time Across The Universe, Later As It Was Discovered That The Disturbance Is Caused By An Event In Attempt To Enter One Of Those Realms Which Was Actually Done By A Man After The Disturbance In The Realm, Because Time Is Variable In Each Of The Realms, And To Relate All This Has Caused It To Result A Series Of Events That Will Soon Destroy The Very Foundation Of The Constituent Relams That All Creatures Live In, And The Man Was Actually Sent By Mankind To Discover Later On In The Future To Inspect, But It Was The Sole Reason All This Happened, That Man Has A Personal Reason Too, His Daughter Became The Many Victims Of Those Mishappen Creatures And To Retrieve Her Back In Human Form As She Is Not Dead But Is Currently In Another Realm Partially Which Resulted In Her Becoming In One Of Those Creatures, The Father (The Man) Has To Fight His Own Daughter In A Form Of A Vicious And Vile Creature, But Since Time Is Variable He Can Get Her Back Again To The World With A Slim Possibility, But He Commits A Blunder Which Results In Absolute Chaos Amongst The Realms And Is Now Needed To Be Resolved Before Complete Annihilation Of The Collective Realities, I Know This Plot Is Really Sketchy, Full Of Contradictions But This Is What I've Came Up With, And The More I Develop The Plot The More Confused I Felt Myself, I Don't Think Anyone Would Read It, It's Pretty..Well, Loss Of Words
Tips i'd give- 1. Kill off a main character, and keep the murderer the voice. (Like as if we are telling a story about a character but you killed it) 2. The main character is the antagonist. The other 'antagonist' is being framed/ is the main character or could also be a side character or the mc's friend! 3. 'it was all a dream' 4. Give clues that lead to the answer, and the bad guy is a good friend. (Hope these help!)
“Kill off an important character.” *Me who killed the younger 14 year old sister of one of the top warrior’s who protects the kingdom, giving her severe trauma plus I made her husband pass away after she gave birth to her son.* HOW BA-A-AD CAN I BE? 😈😈😈
I’m making a book called dawn of the clans I know that’s book series of warrior cats I figured that out after coming up with a name and the most strongest main character the story character is lightheart a golden retriever there are four clans and the is fire foxes Darkside cats lightside goldens and water wolves just in book one and if lightheart dies in book 2 or 3 I think it would be a good part because she is my character and I don’t mind killing her even though she’s my favorite character she has to die her age is between adult and puppy so teen and yea so one day I’ll post the book!
Its rather poetic.We were two people starting off as strangers.Now were not friends,not enemies just strangers with forever memories. A wise person once said
In my book she realized she was not the one who was meant to save everyone, but the one meant to die at the hand of her lover so he could rule the world in her place

I am a WIP writer and all I have to say is: If the main character has a high effect on the other characters, kill the main character and continue the story. Angst levels are high.
Also, reveal that the quiet kind character is hiding the darkest backstory and make them go insane from hiding their pain so that they turn evil and eventually kill themselves

Don't do a plot twist for the sake of plot twists; try to make one that ties into your themes and plot coherently. Another piece of advice I've heard for plot twists is to do it through information being revealed (Brandon Sanderson is very good at this, so look to his works for examples). If you take something that the characters/reader doesn't know (or even something that the characters/ some of them know but the reader does not) and reveal it in a compelling manner, it can work so well.
Thanks for the tips!
@@SomeSnake24 …why do you ask?
Ty! No one talks abt this, it's very important.
Nice. Especially elevating a side characters seems like a plot twist that would leave me staring at the ceiling.

@@noblebrown7154Episode 7 boutta be fire tho
I’m making a book with that plot twist😅
Edit: i don't know what I was doing with this idea, why'd I even comment this lol
Another idea:
in the beginning of the story, have two main characters (or just a main character with a very important side character) With one character being more important to the story than the other. The story starts off with the two reaching for a goal, but the other less important main character is just trying to help the other character achieve that goal. It should be clear that the first main character isn’t quite going to last somehow. Then, the big battle comes a bit too earlier and the main character is killed off, leaving the other character alone. Then the story starts to circle around the remaining character, and then from that side character you get a main character.
So basically just a change of main character
Very cool idea thank you ❤

Here's a hug
I have this story idea, I’m putting it here because I’m too lazy to write it down on paper or the notes app as an ACTUAL FINISHED STORY WITH DETAILS AND EVENTS so here’s an overview because I’m not extending this to become a full of story cuz I’m lazy
It’s about a musician from the regency era (could also be Victorian but that’s up to you if you wanna change the setting to an era of time where musicians were actually just as influential as Mozart or Beethoven) who made music for the prince because she loved him but he didn’t love her back
This musician was performing for the royal family since she was young, and from one of her grand performances, she met the young prince of the royal family and soon became good friends with him. When they grew up into aspiring teenagers, the musician started realizing that her feelings weren’t normal and that she was actually in love with the prince. She was too shy to confess, but it was clear that she liked him. Though the musician was clearly acting strange, the prince didn’t give a shit about her constantly red face because he didn’t actually like her. The musician started writing songs like she always did, thinking of melodies and constantly practicing the music sheet. Despite their closeness, the prince only ever saw her as his friend who made music and played instruments, but he never knew that she was also a poet. In fact, nobody did. The poems she made were meant to replace some parts of the song like lyrics, especially those notes on a higher octave. But she never included the lyrics as they were actually secret love letters for him which she would never dare expose to anyone that wasn’t herself. One day, she made a song so darn melancholic,that you can actually feel the sadness and hopelessness from the song on a spiritual level. It was suggested to her that she perform it on the night of the grand theater festival, so she played it. By the time she was done, she spotted the prince’s chair amidst the roaring crowd of both nobles and ordinary people cheering for her. There, she saw an unfamiliar but beautiful princess chatting with the prince, this princess later introduced herself to the musician and compliment her so much that the musician could’ve literally fainted. The prince, musician, and princess later became a trio of friends however the musician felt as if she was just the third wheel to their love story. “The world seemingly glimmers whenever my eyes land on you, but your eyes shine like a thousand stars whenever you gaze into her beautiful eyes.” The musician wrote in a poem. As the days passed by, the prince and princess started to get closer and closer, whilst the musician’s music grew sadder and desperate as she yearned for his attention.
Continuation
The musician didn’t even know why they were leaving her out, even if she couldn’t get the prince to love her back, being friends with him would’ve been enough for her. Until one day, the prince approached the musician like how he used to before the princess stole his attention away from the musician. Same type of conversation, but it felt rather forced, and lacked the flavor of their usual conversations. But the musician didn’t care, because hey atleast he noticed her, right? This proceeded for days, the prince started talking to the musician more, started showing more interest in her, but at the same time he was getting closer and closer to the princess. The prince’s sudden interest gave the musician false hope. She knew she would only ever be friends with the prince, but can’t help feel adored by this attention. As this point, the musician was desperate as hell. If he knew that she knew he didn’t like her, why was he making her feel this way, on purpose? “You’re only making me hope because you know I love you, but I know you dont love me so why fabricate this interest of yours? The absence of hope is better than the presence of false hope.” The musician wrote with teary eyes with a heart aching of hopelessness. A few weeks passed, the prince stopped and the two haven’t seen eachother for a while. Both the prince and princess were gone, but occasionally the princess would be present in the palace garden from time to time looking both anxious and happy. One afternoon, the musician sat by the princess who was laying in the grass gazing into the clouds and asked what the two were so busy about that they would be gone for weeks. The musician hid her shattered heart with an emotionless face as the princess declared to her that she and the prince were getting engaged. All those weeks of absence, all those weeks of hoping that the prince would finally return to her, all those weeks of not seeing eachother happened because the two royal families decided that the princess marry the prince for political benefit. The musician wanted to doubt, she disguised her hope as concern and asked “for political reasons? Does that sound alright to you? You’re marrying someone for someone else’s benefit, are you sure you’ll be ok?” To the musician’s heartbreak, the princess replied with “it doesn’t matter if it’s political or not, I love him and he loves me! Dont worry, it won’t be a loveless marriage. We’re going to last forever once we marry”. The princess was so happy but on the other hand the musician’s heart was shattering into a billion pieces whilst she did her best not to let a single tear fall from her eye. The next few days were full of hopelessness and sadness. He was betrothed to another. He loved another. And I.. was only his friend. A friend who he would occasionally notice and then ignore for an entire week. I hoped, but now I can only admire from afar as in a few months he’ll marry her and I can never love him again. Not knowing what to do to forget him, she put all of her emotion and desperation into a music sheet that would immediately become one of her most dramatic and expressive compositions ever. During those days, the princess started pushing the musician away from the prince as it became clear the musician loved the prince but not entirely as she still admired her as a friend. She was invited to the wedding, but the princess told her “please don’t love him any more. He loves another, and that person is me. I don’t want you to disrupt us” like the musician was already trying to forget him by trying to release all of her emotions into this grand piece she’s about to play at the grand celebration of the kingdom’s alliances. During that month, the prince actually reached out to her and asked if she was ok. The musician didn’t respond properly but did state in a letter back that she won’t be able to see him for a while because she’s too busy composing the piece for the celebration. The prince sent another letter back, acting like he’s clueless of everything (he is actually) and expressed in the letter how good of a friend the musician is to him and how he wants her to come to his wedding. The prince never received a response, and thought the musician never received it, but the musician did in fact receive and read it and was greatly saddened by it. Only then when she wasnt talking to him anymore did he consider her as a friend, but when the three of them were friends, never did he treat her like she was also his friend despite knowing eachother since childhood.
It was the night of the grand celebration, after the speeches have passed, it was time for the musician to perform the composition made from the shattered pieces of her heart. The lights went dim, the nobles were in awe, the political figures were intrigued, the royal families were excited, then from a simple piano as the lead, the theater’s violinists and cello players, and echoing voice, came out a gorgeous melody, conveying the pain of loving someone who does not love you. Cadences full of desperation, the sweet hidden undertones expressing the happiness from admiration, and the melancholy of the bittersweet piece which consisted of segments from her previous compositions made the audience’s hearts ache even if they never felt that way. And then, the musician did something she would’ve never done before: the poem she made as lyrics, which back then would have never even DARED to say before, made an entrance. The prince knew the musician was talented in multiple fields of expertise, but due to his lack proper communication with her, he never knew knew she could actually sing. And then the right-hand notes played on the piano were later replaced with her vocals. The lyrics, if summarized, stated that “love is pain, desperation is hell. I loved you, but you are not mine. I shall forever support you loving another, but farewell”. By the time the song ended, the whole audience cheered and roared. All except for the prince who had just realized what may have happened to the musician. He rushed backstage, and frantically searched for the musician, only to find her packing her bags. He asked “are you still going to attend the wedding next month?? what do you mean by farewell? You wrote the lyrics, right? I didn’t even know you could sing.” With tired eyes, the musician looked back at the prince and said “do you think it was written for you? I wanted you to know so much, but I couldn’t even get you to talk to me again. I’m going to pack my bags, I have family to deal with in the east. Farewell, I still adore you, I will support you, but it would be incredibly unrealistic of you to expect.” And from that day on, the prince and musician never saw eachother again. A week before the wedding, the prince was led by his curiosity to visit the dorm near the theater where the musician used to live. As if it was planned by fate, the door was unlocked and the prince went inside. There was no furniture left, except for the desk where the musician used to write her music sheets on, along with the chair and cabinet where she stored her instrument in. In the drawer, he found all of the poems she wrote for him, from the day they first became actual friends to the day when she found out he and the princess were getting married. What really broke him the most thp, was when he opened the cabinet to find the tiny little violin the musician played when they were still kids, reminding him that those days will never return as it is very unlikely that he will meet the musician again. Then the prince realized , that if he couldnt love her, then he could’ve atleast treated her like a friend instead of making her hope because of a simple hypothesis in this head. The wedding came, but the musician was no where to be seen, the prince was happy to be married to the princess, however deep inside he felt guilty as his dear friend since childhood can no longer meet him anymore, as he had toyed with her because of a guess he had. During their last days as friends, he didn’t even treat her like one. He either ignored her, or made her hope for nothing. Two days after the wedding, the musician sent him one last letter, saying that she will always support him, and appreciate the days when they were friends. But up to now, the musician still loved him even tho he was already betrothed to another, to avoid being the cause of stress in their marriage, the musician distanced herself from the couple for their own good and hers. The musician spent the rest of her life making music, performing in grand theaters far from the city where the palace was located, and soon forgot about the time she wished on dandelions so that he could be hers.

Tips for writing.
1. When u start a book, start with the peak and then GO back tk the start.
For example, lets say ur writing a horror book. Start with a scene of someone running from a ghost OR something and put much action/ emotions. Then suddenly, with out showing what happens In The end, (for example dont show if the ghost killed the person OR anything) go back to something like "3 days before" and show that person sitting in his house peacefully.
This way u will earn the rraders Attention and get the interested to read till the end to see what happened.
2. End a Chapter with a cliffhanger so the reader wants to read the next to see what happens.
3. Use this. When everything goes calmly and well OR it doesnt matter whats happening, put a - noticable OR not- hint for what happens later.
Example: lets say someone is talking on the phone on ur book and he is cooking same time...and he says on the phone "one day i will Take that knife over there and kill everyone".... Thats a "hint" of what will happen later In The book so u may keep reading to see if he will actually do it...
Oh, you mean foreshadowing?
thats almost exactly what not to do
Well what's important is don't make the foreshadowing too obvious. Subtlety is important. But make it obvious enough that if the reader is paying attention, they'll remember the foreshadowing when the foreshadowed thing happens!
@@znyxdrØme why not? And what to do then💀(7 months before is insane🤣)
Also if a few people guess what the twist is, that’s usually a good thing. You don’t want plot twists to be entirely unpredictable bc that’s just poorly written, what you want is to control how easily people might find out.
Then let people find out that none of their made-up scenarios don't really end up being written, but it's something so unexpected that should blow their minds and keep on thinking. Nice!
@@grgry06It’s like Hans vs Omni man. Hans being evil in frozen was the dumbest thing ever, absolutely zero indication of it, feels, my mind isn’t blown because I’m too busy thinking “that Litteraly came out of nowhere in the worst way possible”. Now take Omni man, he can be a bit apathetic, but is overall set up as a Superman and loving dad, until you randomly see him just murder the most powerful people in the world who are also supposed to be his closest friends. Than you can look back at the episode after the full twist is explained, the silence when mark gets his powers when he realizes he can’t play house anymore, the full force gut punch to Mark, and best of all the “earth isn’t yours to conquer” line. Anyway, having a twist come out of nowhere with zero foreshadowing is boring and doesn’t blow my mind just makes me sigh and think “now that’s just lazy writing”

I’m 14 and I’ve never really cared for writing, but at 1:30 am last night I got a big inspiration for a OC I had been drawing, and this is what I came up with for the first chapter. If anyone spares the time to read it I’d always appreciate feedback and criticism on how to back it better! TW: intense violence, gore, and abuse
I stare into my fathers eyes, frozen in fear as he looms over me with a hatchet in his hand. It’s the second time I’ve tried to run away and he is absolutely furious.
Apparently I didn’t learn my lesson last time so he’s going to make sure I do now.
He raises the hatchet and before I can move, he slashes it across my face and I stumble backwards and fall to the ground, screaming.
I can’t think, pain clouds my mind, my whole body hurts even though the gash only spans through my eye and across the the other side of my face- or at least, that’s what it feels like. Blood runs down into my mouth, the warm, metallic taste mixing with the raw pain and fear.
The initial shock fades and I can think again, I scramble backwards as he goes for another swing. I raise my arm to protect my face, feeling sharp, intense pain as the hatchet bites into my forearm. I scream again, feeling the blood run down my arm.
My father grunts angrily as he raises the hatchet for a third time. “Please!” I beg. “Stop!”
He almost swings again before lowering and dropping the bloody hatchet. “I hope you’ve learned your lesson this time” he snarls as he turns away heads back to the cabin.
Adrenaline and shock course through my veins. I try to slow my breathing, lowering my arm with a groan from the pain.
I sit on the ground, trying to process what just happened. I look around at the all too familiar trees that surround the cabin. The sun is starting to set, I look up at the little sky that is visible through the trees, its a nice sunset, orange sky, pink clouds. today would be a beautiful day, if not for what had happened.
This isn’t the first time he’s done something like this, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. I need focus on is getting into the cabin and taking
care of these wounds.
It’s a bit short and i probably will make it longer, but this is what I have written so far.
That's so good!
@@ameliejannink1678 thank you!
Wow, this is actually amazing and has good potential.
It's a really fast paced first chapter, I would improve on the brevity, and think about what would happen after this. From what I read, I'm assuming it's a story about his escape, I would also utilize punchuation marks to fit the pacing.
examples of what I would change from paregraph 3: "I stare into the hatchet, raised, I struggle, I panic, I reach for a lunge- wait, I can't move. I see a slash, my face? I finally stumble backwards, falling to the hard ground, a scream escapes my mouth."
See how I broke up the sentence into smaller parts to make it faster, and changed "he" to "I" in order to make it seem more personal, along with using actions to help readers visualize what's going on rather than just telling them in order to create a vivid imagery.
Heres another example from paragraph 6: "A cold tingle trembles throughout my body as I see him ready a second swing. I scream. I brace for the pain. I start- "I hope you learned your lesson this time," I drew a blank. "I said, I hope you learned your lesson this time." I'm still alive, am I saved? Was I forgiven?"
This is actually amazing!! I rlly want to read more can u write the next chapter plss!!!!
"Kill off important character" Yep, been there done that
Also, here's a tip for making a character's death hurt,
give them screentime, make them overcome some type of internal fear, and make their death impact the other characters.
Idea:
The villain is actually the main character but to make it fun. Make the villain annoying or like the other antagonist so that many people will get annoyed by him/her and also make the fake main character take the part like they are actually the main character and at the end the villain will defeat the (fake) main character and said " WHO SAYS A VILLAIN CANT BE THE MAIN CHARACTER"
I like your idea,but at least add someone who is REAL EVIL and the fake main will fight him but defeat, and then The Villain Coming From Shadow and Defeat the Evil for fun. But he got praised instead

Guys, please do NOT kill off characters if it doesn't contribute to the plot. If you wanna kill a character, it has to have a reason.
I'm currently writing about a girl growing up with her two friends in a time of war and when she gets older she learns she can't die so she has to watch her friends die and goes through multiple wars
That sounds very interesting and sad. Like an other version of Captain America
That is a really good sounding story! I love that idea of a book and I would for sure read that!
Kind of rezero plot
When u finish that lemme know where I can read it sounds interesting
Yes, some books I absolutely LOVE have character/s killed off but just remember, that not all stories need character death to be considered a “good” story.

Kill off an important character:
In the bustling city of Brooksville, amidst the chaotic streets and busy sidewalks, there was a nondescript coffee shop tucked away in a quiet corner. Its barista, Emily, seemed to blend into the background, her warm smile and gentle demeanor often overlooked by the hurried patrons.
For Alex, a regular at the coffee shop, Emily's presence was a comforting constant in the whirlwind of his daily life. He would often exchange casual pleasantries with her as she prepared his usual order, never realizing just how much her kindness meant to him.
But one fateful day, tragedy struck. A senseless accident claimed Emily's life, leaving behind a void that echoed in the hearts of those who had taken her presence for granted. Alex, upon hearing the news, felt as though a piece of his world had been torn away, leaving him adrift in a sea of grief and regret.
Haunted by the memories of their brief interactions, Alex found himself consumed by sorrow, unable to find solace in the familiar routines of his daily life. The once bustling coffee shop now seemed empty and lifeless without Emily's cheerful presence, a constant reminder of the void left in her wake.
As Alex grappled with his overwhelming sadness, he realized the profound impact that Emily had made on his life, her seemingly insignificant role in his world now revealed to be irreplaceable. And though he knew that the pain of her loss would never truly fade, he vowed to honor her memory by cherishing the connections that he held dear, no matter how small they may seem.
Elevate a seemingly minor character:
In the heart of the bustling city, amidst the chaos of urban life, there was a modest apartment tucked away in a quiet corner. Within its walls lived a young writer named Alex, whose words danced across the page like poetry, weaving tales of love and loss that touched the hearts of readers far and wide.
Though he may have seemed like just another struggling artist, Alex's gift for storytelling was anything but ordinary. With each stroke of his pen, he breathed life into characters and worlds, transporting his readers to realms of imagination and wonder.
But it wasn't just his talent that set Alex apart; it was his kindness and empathy that truly made him extraordinary. In a world that often felt cold and indifferent, Alex took the time to listen to those around him, offering words of encouragement and support to fellow writers and dreamers who crossed his path.
As his reputation grew, so too did the community that surrounded him. Writers from all walks of life flocked to his apartment, drawn by the warmth and camaraderie that permeated the space. They shared their stories and their struggles, finding solace in the company of kindred spirits who understood the trials and triumphs of the creative journey.
And though he may have remained behind the scenes, content to work his magic in the quiet corners of his apartment, Alex's influence reached far beyond its walls. Through his words and his actions, he inspired others to chase their dreams and embrace their passions, leaving a legacy of creativity and compassion that would endure long after he was gone.
For in a world that often overlooked the seemingly minor characters, Alex reminded us all of the extraordinary power of art and storytelling to change lives and bring people together.
Hope this work!
Love all you guys, stay safe ❤

The Maze Runner fans: "Kill off a seemingly important character"
James Dashner: *evil laughter* Goodbye, Newt.
I feel like writing something in the comments, so here:
It’s 6 in the morning, and the sun rays shine through the blinds, your skin feeling its warmth. You woke up earlier than usual, it’s your weekend. You pull your blanket down, and get off your bed. The sounds of slight chirping and cars driving by are heard behind your window. You put your slippers on, and leave the room, closing the door behind you. It’s more warm and comfortable outside, more light passes through a bigger window. You decide to go on a stroll to the forest nearby.
Walking on the sturdy cobblestone path, a flock of birds pass above you. Mushrooms in small crevasses, and flowers blooming, both in shade and light. The grass soft and healthy green, and the trees tall and full of leaves. You continue your journey while admiring all of its beautiful offerings.
sun rays sun wrays crevasse secret
It so peaceful. Somethings about to happen. A twist is turning, yet it’s oddly alluring.
You have written that so beautifully. 😌
"Kill off an important character"
Well i have a question for yall then
- Do authors cry when they kill my favorite character? Or do they just sit down, laugh, and have a cup of tea with Satan?
In the quirky town of Giggleville, an extraordinary phenomenon was unfolding. Laughter, that joyous sound that usually vanished into thin air, had taken on a life of its own. People's chuckles and guffaws now manifested as shimmering bubbles that hung in the air, creating an atmosphere of perpetual amusement.
At the heart of this whimsical town lived Tommy, a mischievous young lad with a perpetual twinkle in his eye. He was the first to realize the hilarious potential of the laughter bubbles. It all began one sunny morning when he burst out with a joke so hilarious that not only did the townsfolk erupt in laughter, but the air around them seemed to dance with sparkling bubbles.
"What's orange and sounds like a parrot?" Tommy asked, barely containing his own laughter.
The crowd, now accustomed to the playful transformation, eagerly waited for the punchline.
"A carrot!" he exclaimed, and the result was uproarious laughter accompanied by a spectacle of multicolored bubbles that floated up to the sky.
Word spread like wildfire, and Giggleville quickly became a destination for seekers of mirth from all around. Tourists flocked to the town, ready to be part of this unique experience. Laughter clubs and bubble-catching contests sprouted up, with participants competing to catch the biggest, shiniest bubble.
Local businesses embraced the bubbling trend. Bubble-themed cafes served frothy drinks that created mini laughter bubbles with every sip. The town's hair salon even introduced the "Bubble Coiffure" - a hairstyle that allowed customers to wear a small, stylish bubble on their heads.
As the craze grew, so did the challenges. Bubble-catching competitions became fierce battles of wits and agility. Children fashioned bubble pets, dreamily watching as their laughter-filled companions drifted alongside them. The town's school introduced a "Bubble Physics" class, where students learned the science behind the laughter-to-bubble conversion.
However, not everyone was thrilled. Grumpy Gus, the local skeptic, couldn't stand the merriment. He grumbled about how bubbles should stay in soap bottles and how laughter should remain fleeting. But even his protests couldn't dampen the town's spirit. In fact, his grumbling led to a new game - Bubble Dodging, where participants tried to navigate the town avoiding Gus's glum aura and bursts of negativity.
In the midst of all this, Tommy remained the town's laughter guru. His knack for cracking jokes was unmatched, and his comedic timing impeccable. Tourists and locals alike would gather around him, waiting for his next witty quip. He turned laughter into an art form, using it to connect people and make the town a happier place.
One day, Tommy gathered everyone at the town square for an announcement. With a twinkle in his eye, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Giggleville is proof that even the simplest joys can create a world of wonder. Let's remember that life's best moments are those shared with laughter and friends."
The crowd erupted in applause and laughter, sending a dazzling array of bubbles into the sky. And as the sun set over Giggleville, the laughter bubbles glowed like a million stars, reminding everyone that in a world of bubbles and laughter, happiness was never far away.

The best plot twists are the ones that dont just come out of nowhere. They may floor the reader, but when it's reread, there are hints. Have the characters (and readers) be told a lie or make an assumption, and then make the reveal
Anybody else have tips for me? I really can’t permanently kill off any characters as i don’t have many.
kill the character's close friend
betraya maybe?? idk
@@lamhw ty i’ll try
@@Panensi bro I feel you. I only have one character in my novel. It makes sense I swear 😭
I don’t want to summarize the entire thing, but my main character is the antagonist, and everyone else isn’t real. 😭 It makes sense I swear 😭😭😭
@@TheDramaticCrafter RIP-
In the book im writting the mcs are gonna be betrayed by someone thats be there the whole time BUT he then sacrifices himself for them in the end by dying
Thank you for the plot twist tips. Your time and efforts are appreciated, Thank you
“Kill off an important character”
Shannon: *WRITE THAT DOWN!*
i have this idea, where a teenage girl in our reality unhesitantly enters a portal made by a elf wizard scientist somethin because she lost her mom and thought that this new world that she's in will be better than ours but in reality it's nothing different.(honestly I've taken alot of inspiration from toh and Harry potter. can't wait to write)
Toh?
I think toh stands for the owl house
Marvel definitely did a good job of killing off all my favourite characters 😫😫😫
Ok so totally unrelated but what's the name of this song, I've been searching for it for ages.
Also thanks for the tips! I only write stuff for myself, but still thanks!

"kill off a seemingly important character"
Not a book, but a movie.
*Hereditary? Gurl? Dis u?*
Okay Here's The Plot And What's The Rough Idea:
So Because The Physical World Only Exists In Certain Parameters That May Or May Not Be Observed By Us But That's Only The Universe We Know', So There Exists A Sequence Of Other Super-Physical Realities That Are Left Completely Isolated Apart From Each Other, But Because Of A Disturbance In The Force That Governs These Worlds Which Resulted In A Creature Going Rouge And Is Now Being Present In Both Realities, Because Of The Non-compactible Intermingling Of The Certain Physical And Non-Physical Properties Of These Two Realms, The Creature Is Now Become Corrupt, An Anamoly Which Could Cause Catastrophic Events For Both Mankind And The Possible Existence Of Our Universe, It Couldn't Be Taken Down With Conventional Weaponry As It Is Beyond The Mechanics Our World' Now The Root Of The Disturbance In The Force Keeping Order Of These Realms Is Yet To Be Discovered, But Mankind Still Don't Have Anything To Begin With, Which Only Leaves An Option Which Is To Inspect The Souces Of Anomalies In Space Time Across The Universe, Later As It Was Discovered That The Disturbance Is Caused By An Event In Attempt To Enter One Of Those Realms Which Was Actually Done By A Man After The Disturbance In The Realm, Because Time Is Variable In Each Of The Realms, And To Relate All This Has Caused It To Result A Series Of Events That Will Soon Destroy The Very Foundation Of The Constituent Relams That All Creatures Live In, And The Man Was Actually Sent By Mankind To Discover Later On In The Future To Inspect, But It Was The Sole Reason All This Happened, That Man Has A Personal Reason Too, His Daughter Became The Many Victims Of Those Mishappen Creatures And To Retrieve Her Back In Human Form As She Is Not Dead But Is Currently In Another Realm Partially Which Resulted In Her Becoming In One Of Those Creatures, The Father (The Man) Has To Fight His Own Daughter In A Form Of A Vicious And Vile Creature, But Since Time Is Variable He Can Get Her Back Again To The World With A Slim Possibility, But He Commits A Blunder Which Results In Absolute Chaos Amongst The Realms And Is Now Needed To Be Resolved Before Complete Annihilation Of The Collective Realities, I Know This Plot Is Really Sketchy, Full Of Contradictions But This Is What I've Came Up With, And The More I Develop The Plot The More Confused I Felt Myself, I Don't Think Anyone Would Read It, It's Pretty..Well, Loss Of Words
If he had been with me author: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
(I miss u Finny 💔)
Uncle Rick: bianca, zoe, charles, silena, jason, you know what is going to happen
*kill off an important character.*
Rowling: *giggles whilst glaring at Ron.*
Fantasy novel writer be like-
Lets kill Mc's girlfriend
In last chapter- mc revieve her again... 😂
Author - yeee... Plot twist with happy ending
Started with six ended with 3
Characters Victoria maclin kal Tyden ayla Hayley
Characters that die still figuring it out
Tips i'd give-
1. Kill off a main character, and keep the murderer the voice. (Like as if we are telling a story about a character but you killed it)
2. The main character is the antagonist. The other 'antagonist' is being framed/ is the main character or could also be a side character or the mc's friend!
3. 'it was all a dream'
4. Give clues that lead to the answer, and the bad guy is a good friend.
(Hope these help!)
That’s why everyone in Warrior Cats either dies or has a major plot twist…😢
“Kill off an important character.”
*Me who killed the younger 14 year old sister of one of the top warrior’s who protects the kingdom, giving her severe trauma plus I made her husband pass away after she gave birth to her son.*
HOW BA-A-AD CAN I BE? 😈😈😈
I’m writing a book that includes: Romance (not too spicy), crime, and definitely a huge twist ✨✨

*Koyoharu gotouge when they saw this vid on the first one*: 👁👄👁 donut.
I killed off the villains side kick who used to be the main character and thought “for the loreeeee”
No it’s “are you saturo gojo because your the strongest or are you the strongest because your saturo gojo”
I’m making a book called dawn of the clans I know that’s book series of warrior cats I figured that out after coming up with a name and the most strongest main character the story character is lightheart a golden retriever there are four clans and the is fire foxes Darkside cats lightside goldens and water wolves just in book one and if lightheart dies in book 2 or 3 I think it would be a good part because she is my character and I don’t mind killing her even though she’s my favorite character she has to die her age is between adult and puppy so teen and yea so one day I’ll post the book!
Stolen from masterclass. All the points are exactly the same.
Kill off an important character- Rick riodion
The fact that I killed off my main character right as the good guys won 😅
