Telegraphing Plot Points
One of the scenes I wrote this morning can't go in :P If I put it in as is, I would telegraph a plot point down the way, and while readers might anticipate it, it would ruin a surprise. So it may end up as a Cut Scene For The Website.
As my friend Sharon Mignerey just said, you want to foreshadow a point, but when you deliver it, you should give the reader a surprise twist. So the scene will become a paragraph.
Sigh. Love the wordcount I'm piling up on the daily "Word Wars." It's working for me. But now I REALLY have to get to the Heart Change copy edits (the first Word electronic stuff that will take me ages).
May you enjoy all processes of your creativity today.
