Ai-chan would be happy if anyone would point it out. Ai-chan writes for the purpose of making a living out of it. If nobody points out, Ai-chan won't get better. One of the biggest corrections of Ai-chan's vocabulary, stomache, was pointed out by a reader. Ai-chan spent my twenties thinking the...

Foreshadowing is the "Ahah!" moment. If readers forgot about the foreshadowing, it has dragged too long. Put it anywhere you want, it's your story. There is no right or wrong, anything you do just becomes your unique style. Just remember, for a fully completed novel, getting to that "Ahah!"...
