Day 67: It’s a Wonderful Life

We can learn a lot from the 1947 classic It’s a Wonderful Life. Today, we’re focusing on how the storytellers use subtle mechanisms to introduce story elements long before they’re needed. Sometimes the storytellers even intentionally de-emphasize what they’re tucking away for later.

As you move into the third act of the book you’re writing, you may find that you need to inject some things earlier into the story. How obvious do those elements need to be? Can you hide them in plain sight?

ASSIGNMENT: Write for one hour. Add at least 1,000 words to your book manuscript.
