Writing Technique

Foreshadowing

Show Don't Tell

Stream of Consciousness

Unfiltered internal monologue that mimics the continuous flow of thought — jumping between observations, memories, associations, and emotions without conventional narrative structure.

Unreliable Narrator

A first-person narrator whose credibility is compromised — through deception, naïveté, mental instability, or limited perspective. Creates dramatic irony between what the narrator tells and what actually happened.
