ForeshadowingThings happen in any story…but foreshadowing can dramatically increase the emotional impact of events. But, how do you do foreshadowing? How much is too much? How do you avoid being too obvious? In this episode, our illustrious authors pry the veil aside and reveal some of their most sophisticated techniques. And…maybe a few that…um…don’t really work all that well.

Book AwardsAye, folks. A great and terrible mystery surrounds this episode. Recorded, yet never found. There are rumors that the intrepid authors who participated may have touched upon Secrets Too Terrible To Be Known. Even they can’t remember, for sure. All they know is…this episode has mysteriously disappeared.

Naming CharactersWhat’s in a name? A rose, by any other name… OK, names are IMPORTANT. In this episode, our hapless writers tell you the lengths they go to to come up with the perfect names for their characters. Whew, it’s a constant struggle with mediocity…for every “James Bond” there’s a sadly unmemorable “Bob Jones.”
