Just a reminder: Do not write a play that exists for the sole purpose of having a plot twist. The "Duh-DuH-DUH!" ending is cheesy and not the best use of your expansive minds.
Good conflicts come from unique situations and characters. Do your characters have a unique view on life? Is your situation (premise) original? In a short play, conflict is more meaningful when it's produced through your characters rather than an outside force.
Do NOT overlook the mundane (the everyday things) as source for interesting plays. Aisle six in Wegmans might change your life one day. (another line for my biography?...a possible chapter title? Who knows. I'm just the looks, not the brains of this operation)
