17.3: Chekov’s Surprising Yet Inevitable Inverted Gun Writing Excuses

    • Fiction

Your Hosts: Howard Tayler, Kaela Rivera, Sandra Tayler, and Megan Lloyd



This week we're talking about giving inevitability to our intended surprise, and we open with a discussion of Chekov's Gun, which, as a writing rule, is mostly used in inversion.



Next week we'll focus on making inevitable things surprising.



Liner Notes: Art and Editing of Suicide Squad (YouTube) 



Credits: This episode was recorded by Marshall Carr, Jr., and mastered by Alex Jackson
