: Re: Avoiding info-dumps when writing about amnesiacs In the story I'm writing one character suffers from amnesia as a result of an accident. I want another character, with whom they were in love,

We can't brainstorm on this site--so your question may be closed. But, my answer in the meantime is go ahead and write it all out. Don't worry about info dumping yet.

Then, prune it back. Convert some of it from his dialog to her remembering. Put some of it into narrative, the things he wouldn't tell her, leave out a lot of it.

But go ahead and write it, because once it's there you have something you can improve.
