Foreshadowing was the first literary device I really got, and I've always been pretty good at it. My big eureka moment was actually learning that you can foreshadow too much, which I really saw in the Hobbit movies where PJ had to foreshadow EVERYTHING. Tolkien even mentioned it about how anticipating everything flattened out a tale and didn't allow for surprises. You can really feel that in PJ's Hobbit.

I feel like I'm still at the beginning of studying literary critique, despite years of English classes and my English major. I buy all the writers how-to books I can find, and I just love them. Using the 3-part structure and learning pacing and starting with a hook - all of it is so fascinating to me. The craft of writing doesn't get the recognition it deserves, I feel. People only notice it when it's bad but they don't know WHY it's bad and then apply that to the good authors and recognize just how hard it is or how much WORK it is to craft something beautiful.
