Do you use foreshadowing, and if so, how do you do it?
It's a mixed bag.
Sometimes an event occurs in a story, and I find the perfect place to drop a hint about it a few chapters earlier.
Sometimes I'm scratching my head and trying to figure out what happens next, and I recall some bit of what I thought was descriptive fluff earlier on...and the fluff gains new respect.
And sometimes I pick some reference so obscure that 1 reader in 1000 will pick up on it.
