Answer 2

Well I often see people write the date of the start for a chapter but wen they move on to modern day they say "present day" or "modern day" before they start the chapter in Italics under the chapter title

Answer 3

oh and good luck on your story :)

Answer 4

That's a cool idea thanks!

Answer 5

@cecormier just curious could I have each chapter going back and forth to explain how she got there and such cause the past is a very important factor of the story. also if you think its not correct do you know any other methods. hope you understand me lol i'm not sure how to explain this so well.

Answer 6

What I mean is like one chapter the past another the present and I use the method you told me above ^

Answer 7
