Foreshadowing
from Writer Syndrome · host Russ Capasso and Tim Letteney
Foreshadowing is another tool in the writer's toolkit that can enhance a reader's story experience. Early hints that can pay off later to build suspense, tension, and make that climax that much better. This episode, Russ and Tim get into what foreshadowing is, what it isn't, and how they used it in their stories. As a bonus, they work through what exactly Chekov's gun actually is.
