It occurs to me that I am completely and utterly pants at writing temporal transitions. I can hardly document every minute and action in the life of my character, and yet there's only so much 'hours passed', 'some time later', 'that evening', 'eventually', and 'finally' I can take as a reader, so I refuse to overdo it as a writer.

*bangs head on desk repeatedly*

In other news, I am now warm and toasty in my polar fleece socks, corduroys, and blue SWGC hoodie. Usually when I'm cold I put on my Celtae toque, but as that took a dip as well today, I can't.

When I need to switch scenes, I just put a line of asterixes and start a new scene below it.

Like that. And if your character does something, like take a bicycle trip where nothing really happens, you can just say something like, "He hopped on his bicycle and started riding. Four hours later, when he reached his destination..." etc. I hope that helps ;)

Yes, but that's so boring ;)

The asterixes are a good idea, though.
