    Moving from one timeframe to another - how?

    Discussion in 'Setting Development' started by Rad Scribbler, Aug 30, 2020.

    Busy with the first draft of a story and am coming to the end of a chapter of a certain timeframe.

    Beginning with the next chapter the story leaps forward 15 years however, I am uncertain how to go about this transition.

    Would you begin the chapter with a single line stating; 15 years later - and then pick up from there?

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    I think that is basically standard. Though you might want to do a short explanation of most important events which happened during the timeskip/interlude, so that readers aren't left too confused if a lot changed.
