A. Purposefully use any objects that you detail in your writing.

This theory states that no object should appear in your story that doesn't eventually get used. The main example of this, is that if you describe a shotgun hanging on the wall of the house in the story, someone should purposefully use it later on in the story otherwise it shouldn't be described as hanging there in the first place.
