About this episode
The DRS Crew discusses the balance between trusting readers' memory and the need to repeat key details in writing.
The DRS Crew recently discussed violating reader expectations. But what should writers expect from their readers? Can you trust them to remember vital clues or key details? Or do you have to repeat them every so often? The DRS Crew has thoughts. We're sure chat will, too.
