Stuck on your WIP? Unsure of how a scene should go? Feel as though your story is lacking substance? Enduring with the frustrations of writerβs block?
Why not try throwing in a plot twist?
A messenger brings bad news
Something important is stolen
Someone vanishes without a trace
An important item is damaged
Protagonist recognizes a face in the crowd
Someone seems to intentionally fail
Protagonist finds an item thought lost
A charitable act has a harmful result
A cruel act has a beneficial outcome
Someone unexpectedly returns the favour
A raging storm moves across town
A gift makes a character the target of a murderer
A fallen enemy makes one last attack
Only one character in danger can be saved
An enemy saves the life of Protagonistβs friend
A will from a long-lost relative appears
A secret rival seeks to replace Protagonist
A thief makes Protagonist their next target
An obscure law suddenly becomes important
Strangers mistake Protagonist for a fugitive
A tool breaks when needed most
Old version.
I'll redo it later.

Requested by my good friend, @crimsonstar2096 .
Part 2.
Here's your Modern Monsters' character's boyfriend!
Silas Pan.
He's a modern day Satyr and unlike the other monsters in town, he's pretty new.
He runs into Ick not long after roaming into town for the annual Everstone Fall Festival.
Cute! He looks great, thanks!
Since I have no creative bones in my body, for your present, I just made moodboards for my favorites of your fics and original works. (putting them under the cut)
The Marvelous Misadventures of Hannah Hook
The Badun Detective Agency
The Invisible Truth
A Twist in their Tales
The Lost Children
The Deadly Game of Life (Year 1)
-Erica Triggs, from 'The Deadly Game Of Life'.
when the zombie apocalypse came, everyone raided gun stores. Except you. You raided a medieval armory and now, armed with full plate armor and a long sword, you will take back your home
I loveee fantasy settings doing magical exhaustion:
burnt out pyromancers emitting steam and smoke
tired cryomancers shivering with visible foggy breath
weary necromancers looking ill and hearing voices
frazzled healers receiving the same cuts, bruises, and injuries of their patients
Men like to believe theyd be great in apocalypse scenarios but they dont even know how to sew
Whether you are writing a futuristic dystopia or a cloud city of dragons, you need to figure out how people get basic supplies. These are often the most overlooked worldbuilding questions since itβs more fun to think about how cultures honor the dead or where the mountain ranges are, but answers are necessary to create a complete world.
-Where does the water come from and how is it distributed?
-Who makes the food?
-Who transports and distributes the food?
-If your world has modern utilities, are they widespread or only for the rich? For that matter, doΒ utilities have to be modified to work in your world (for example, electric lines with anti-magic coating)?
-What happens to trash?
-What happens to sewage?Β
-What building materials are available?
-What do people do when they get sick?
-What do people do in the case of a natural disaster?
-What do people do in the case of a fire?
-How are large objects moved?
-How are items that take skilled labor to make created and distributed?
Remember, the answers might be different for people at different economic levels.
Just an inspiring author posting summaries, concepts, and plot galore!
