Tony Tips Tuesdays™: Writing with Foreshadowing
Foreshadowing is one of the most powerful tools in storytelling because it creates trust between the writer and the reader. It tells the audience, “Pay attention. Nothing here is accidental.” When done well, foreshadowing makes a story feel carefully built instead of randomly assembled. It gives readers the joy of discovery, the thrill of suspicion, and the satisfaction of looking back and realizing the clues were there from the beginning.
