Lesson 9

[Andre]

Andre’s Twists and Turns.

What I learned doing this assignment is…
a. I got dizzy reading the Twists from North By Northwest. Very convoluted.
b. As I start this assignment, I will notice that I already have some Twists in my map. It is a natural byproduct of the process already done. With those twists, just check to see if they work as they are or if I need to brainstorm other versions that might work better.
c. Building Twists into my Map will keep my story exciting and keep the reader/audience wondering what will come next.
d. Have fun with this in a convoluted-twisted way.
