Flashbacks in Fiction and a Contest
Like just about everything regarding the craft of writing, flashbacks are loved by some and hated by others.
Personally, I like flashbacks. I love a book that explores two or more times, allowing past subplots to tie in with the main story. If you’re a fan of both contemporary and historical romance, flashbacks can satisfy those two literary cravings at once. Paranormal characters such as vampires and other magical creatures with long lives are perfect for flashbacks.
