Especially if the novel covers a short time period, making sure everything fits is so important. It's easy to end up with having enough stuff happen in a morning to fill a long day. <abbr><em>Lillie Ammanns last blog post..<a href="http://lillieammann.com/2008/11/05/tour-stop-8/" rel="nofollow">Blog Book Tour: Review of Dream or Destiny at Unwriter</a></abbr></em> John,

Present, past, letters, and who knows what else. It was interesting because I had never read anything like it before, but I still found it rather confusing and even a little dizzying. However, it was terrible whenever I tried to locate a passage that I needed for the assignment! In high school I had to study a novel that jumped all over the place.

Nothing annoys me more than continual flashbacks. I'm not saying a novel should be absolutely linear, but too many jumps leaves me breathless. Well done. <abbr><em>Anthony James Barnett - authors last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/PQMr/~3/439734424/essential-points-of-dialogue-in-novel.html" rel="nofollow">Essential points of dialogue in a novel</a></abbr></em> A good post.
