A
big challenge for most new book writers is figuring out time. Not the
time to write, but the time as it's portrayed in their book. How much
time passes in your story? Do you move back and forth in time? Do you
start far into the story then flash back to the beginning?
Working
with a storyboard (see the article below) helps you immediately see
your time choices. If you are moving in linear time, or straight
chronology, through your story, each event will happen in sequence.
Today will be followed by tonight which will precede tomorrow. This is
the easiest timeline to work with. Friday, June 12, 2015
