In Writing, Plots and Plot Twists Can Be Taken From Real Life Events

Around every corner you can find a story, a scheme or scam. They are all over the news in every area, every field and often in unexpected places.

These make perfect content for plots and twists in your story when you begin to write. One statement that I remember clearly is "truth is stranger than fiction" I don't know who said it but it really does apply to the events that are going on around us.

Occasionally you will hear a comment "the person who did the original planning of the scheme or scam didn't think things through" because the plan was, in some cases, terribly flawed. The plan as it was being carried out had many areas that could have been done in a different way and gotten a much better result than the one that was the outcome. In crime scene investigation that is a good thing as it gives the investigators a much easier time to unravel the details and discover the truth about the situation. In other areas of life, it creates a huge waste of time and alot of frustration when things do not go well.

Select a few events that would qualify for a scheme or scam and keep them in a file. You never know when you might need a good plot twist to spice up your story.

Many television shows cover topics like miracles, amazing survival stories and in some cases reality shows that have audiences following stories that are hard for the mind to grasp as even possible that it happened. Some disasters give us the same feeling. Amongst the shock, surprise, heros, events, the way they unfolded and the way they ended are the stories that everyone has to share.

What was your perspective, what did you see and hear and what did you think of the ending. All of these make good content for you to write about and also give you as an author a way to collect them and put them into your plots, twists and story events of your story line.
