According to FHS 5.5 /var/lib you should use /var/lib/twm.
You can use a subdirectory of same, of course.
5.5 /var/lib : Variable state information
/var/lib -- Variable state information
+-<editor> Editor backup files and state
+-misc Miscellaneous state data
+-xdm X display manager variable data
+-<pkgtool> Packaging support files
+-<package> State data for packages and subsystems
This hierarchy holds state information pertaining to an application or
the system. State information is data that programs modify while they
run, and that pertains to one specific host. Users should never need to
modify files in /var/lib to configure a package's operation.
