Foreshadowing

4/8/13

What I wouldn't give for a writing circle right now! I know someone out there reads this, and you still can be all quiet lurker on me ;) but just so you know I flicked the "anonymous" switch on commenting, so please feel free to come by. Onto what I need to know...

For those that have read "An Indigo Feather" and now "Calling of Blood"--or also for those who are good at hypotheticals: how allowable is foreshadowing? I have this new, awesome, conversation happening between Spooky and Dane. I mean, there's a lot of Spooky peeking into the wonderful and terrifying place that is Dane's mind and his reasoning for some of the monstrous things he does. Let's just say that Spooky asks a question that those that have read will know hits frighteningly close to home later in the story. My question is, should this moment exist at all? Is the risk of foreshadowing, though I swear I tried not to bash readers over the head, worth it?

I may post the exchange and see what readers think? Is that cool? If I hear static I'll just keep it to myself. No worries. I'll eventually work something out, it'd just go along swifter and smoother if I had a practice group.
