Prepare Ahead

Read Joshua 1-3

Joshua 1:11 "Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to possess it."

Story challenges hit our characters unexpectedly. That’s part of the tension that keeps readers going.

But our characters meet those challenges by preparing for what they believe is ahead of them. They make a plan and gather their resources ready to fight to get their lives back and free themselves from danger.

Other times, the writer will need to foreshadow anything that the characters might come up with to gird their loins for the rest of the story. Sometimes it will be a need to explain a special skill or knowledge.
