Writing About Real Life Schemes and Scams Make Good Plot Twists
by Marjorie J ~ March 30th, 2009. Filed under: Where to Get New Story Ideas.Around every corner you can find a scheme or scam. They are all over the news in every area, every field and often in unexpected places.

Occasionally you will hear a comment “the person who did the original planning of the scheme or scam didn’t think things through” because the plan was, in some cases, terribly flawed.
