WRITING | Repetition - Surprise, Surprise - Short and Sweet

Repetition

Repetition is one of your most powerful tools as a writer! That can mean repetition on the level of plot, and also the repetition of words and word structures. For example, just look for the "triple" repetitions you can find in traditional stories - such as the three little pigs, or Goldilocks and the three bears, or even the triple pattern in a book title like "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe." By carefully using repeated elements in your story, you can create striking, memorable patterns which will leave a lasting impression on your readers.
