Hi friends. A friend called me the other day wanting to talk about writing. He had just finished the first draft of his first novel. He had a question, what might have seemed like a basic question at first. What did I think about flashbacks? We began to chat about it. He wanted to know: Did they interrupt the flow of the story? Were they awkward? I thought maybe he was asking: Was the past an interruption of the present tense?
Jami, this makes me think so much of "All Grown Up." The present and the past happen so clearly and seamlessly in that book. So simple and breathtaking.
