Plot Twist

Read Jeremiah 34-36

Jeremiah 34:11 "But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids."

When plotting, one event in a scene should cause the events in the following scene. The story best hangs together if there is a cause-effect relationship throughout the book.

But we want to be careful not to let our stories be too predictable. Our readers will become bored if they can anticipate everything in the story.

So we will want to add plot twists. These are things that occur in the story that are unexpected, but still carry the cause-effect plotline, taking the story in a different direction.
