Job 21:27 "Behold, I
know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against
me."
Plot devices are things
writers use to move a story along. They can be anything from a ticking clock to
a rescue.
Used clumsily, they are so
obvious they throw a reader out of the story. We don’t want anyone to see our
tricks.
Used skillfully they can
heighten conflict and provide suspense. They can make our story the kind of
tale a reader stays up all night to finish.
