Morgen Bailey's Writing Forum

Just wanted to know if anyone has some good transitioning techniques. And what I mean by that, are those spots in your novel where time passes and things happen, but you don't want to make a scene out of them. I like to minimize exposition, and try not to give a mini-prologue to the next scene, but I inadvertently end up doing just that. Any creative suggestions to go about this? The information is generally important for the next scene to make sense, which is why I feel the need to include it in the first place.

how to be a ghost writer

Locate a couple of novels that you've really enjoyed reading that are similar to yours, especially POV.

See how those authors did it. What techniques did they use and how you can employ similar to your story, merging it with your writing style.

You can use scene breaks or a new chapter, a new setting related to events that 'happened,' dialogue, exposition...there are a number of ways. It can even be done through titles of chapters, if you use them.

Great advice, thank you, Terry.
