LOVE the gifs and the lesson about...Happy Birthday! LOVE the gifs and the lesson about dates in writing from JK Rowling. Whole college degrees can be built around her books. Amazing depth and attention to detail! I have trouble with dates, but I'm finding Scrivener to be pretty helpful with that. Each chapter has a space for notes, and I can keep timeline details there to orient myself (six days after the accident, four weeks before the wedding, for example). It can get pretty confusing for the author and, like you said, we don't want the reader to be confused at all. In the end, they'll probably only notice the weather and holidays, but closer readers will be able to follow a linear timeline, even with all my jumping around. Great post!<br /><br />Have an especially lovely day. Swing from some trees!Katrina L.

I think you're comments totally make sense. Sometimes I read books and they loose me with the chain of events. I get confused about the time line. I agree that a writer knowing exactly what a date is and what the time line is will help the reader to not get tripped up by little inconsistencies. Very insightful!toddandilenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16766328350493744790noreply@blogger.com
