Plot twists should surprise your reader,
Not make them question reality.

I like Order in my writing. My characters sometimes prefer Utter Chaos. The decision points we compromise on create a much stronger narrative for future readers.

This is where pressure builds, plans fail, and choices become costly.

If it feels slow, increase the consequences, not just the events.

What gets harder for your protagonist?
