This is an excellent post by Robert Wood of Standout Books. As I draft book three, I am definitely looking for ways to hide secrets! I’m not sure if I can manage codes and ciphers, but I love allusions, clues, and unanswered questions about characters. I also like the idea of focussing just on this throughout one of the final edits.

Yes this is a fun thing to do, can be like a treasure hunt. I do this with my writing, sometimes it’s personal or there are allusions, motifs to other things. Or there can always be something else to a character than what is on the page or you can reveal things bit by bit. But should think on it more so thanks for the reminder!
