a hard pill to swallow: if an audience can pick up on where the story is going, it’s a good story.

A kinda related note i hope you don’t mind me adding on: one of the most life-changing bits of story advice i ever received was actually in a class on “Revenge and Vengeance in the Ancient World,” if you can believe it. The professor was talking about how everyone in ancient Greece knew all the Greek myths back to front and told them over and over again - and someone asked why they would keep retelling the same stories if they already knew they ended.

She explained that basically it wasn’t the ending that was the most suspenseful or exciting part, but how you got there. This is why The Iliad spoils its own ending in the opening lines. This is why we have so many different retellings of Shakespeare, of Arthurian legends, of fairy tales. 

There are no truly original stories or truly unpredictable endings. So, IMO, it’s better to focus on how you as a writer/filmmaker/artist/whatever can bring something new to the body of the story rather than trying to shock and mislead your audience.

I don’t understand people who go out for leisure even when we’re all in quarantine. Did you forget that the virus is still here? If it is not necessary, please do not go out. You are not only risking yourself but the frontliners and the people who are still working in establishments when they should be at home being with their families. You can go out but that doesn’t mean you should—even if it’s not necessary. I understand that we’re all bored and about to go crazy inside the house for not going out for so long. Please, if you don’t care about your health, at least care for the others’.
