Dreamer
Hey everyone
I was just curious to hear people's views on the use of prophecies/sage old wizards/knowledgeable side-kicks in their fiction. I notice that even the best writers seem to employ one method to deal out a bit of information/worldbuilding here and there. Do you try to avoid these or like me do you embrace them from time to time with great caution? I have one dream sequence in my novel. I don't hate it. I think it's written well enough and serves a good purpose. But I can't help feeling I'm taking the easy way out even though it's a very small part of the overall worldbuilding lol.
