I got so much planning done today to ward off procratination 
I finished the rough outline and Iām adding the foreshadowing elements (thereās one in each chapter) Itās really subtle although some of them are obvious. Some examples:
-
My main character has a dream of her friend lying down and sleeping peaceful in a field of lilies. Lilies symbolize death and her friend dies later while sleeping, (suffocated by smoke) because their living area is on fire.
-
My main character jokes with her friends how if my main character were to meet a viking raider instead of being dazzled sheād hit right back to Scandinavia. (This story is set in 1001 AD) It does end up happening lol

Iām going to focus on completing my outline. Some more examplse of Chekovās gun:
- A notices the sweetness of the drinks they are being served recently and the change in chefs. She decides to stop drinking the drinks and instead leaves her cup full after the meal and continues to do so. The sweetness in the drink is to cover the taste of the poppy seeds which the fae are using to drug people
- He wears a necklace of Thor's Hammer, which glows in the vening moonlight. Emphasis is placed on the hammer and the gun will be shot when a lighting shield will protect A and B
