A Ripple in Normality

Introduce a subtle shift in a character’s routine that implies a significant change or event will soon disrupt their life.

Dig into the everyday life of your character and craft a deviation just minor enough to go unnoticed, but significant enough to have an impact. This could range from a familiar cafe suddenly closing, their favored pen running out of ink unexpectedly, or even a favorite pet acting out of character. Such alterations signal an impending disturbance in their life, and the exploration of these small changes will enable you to masterfully incorporate foreshadowing into your narrative.
