Why Your Plot Twists Feel Fake (The Veil Rule)

Описание: Let’s be brutal for a second: most plot twists suck.

They usually fall into two categories: either everyone saw it coming from chapter three, or it’s so random it feels like the writer just panicked and pulled something out of thin air in the last act.

If your current Work In Progress (WIP) relies on a twist that requires you to lie to your reader or use some cheap "it was all a dream" tactic, you’ve already lost them.

Great storytelling isn't about tricking the reader with fake information. It’s about ethical manipulation using the truth.

In this video, I’m breaking down a psychological framework I call "The Veil Rule." It’s the difference between a gimmick and that holy-sh*t moment where the reader realizes the ending was inevitable the whole time.

We’re ditching the generic writing advice and speed-running the exact structures used in masterclasses like Gone Girl, The Sixth Sense, and Knives Out.

Here’s what we’re covering: The 3-part framework: Plant, Distract, Reframe. How to hide clues in plain sight without telegraphing the ending. The 4-Question BS Detector to stress-test your current twist. A 20-minute "sprint" exercise you can use tonight to fix a flat storyline.

Stop trying to outsmart your readers. Start understanding their psychology.
