Editing Flashbacks with Creativity Coach for Novelists Beth Barany
While teaching our Edit Your Novel Intensive, I received a great question from a student.
She wanted an example of how to fix a flashback. So I put out the call to my current and former students and clients and received four 1-page flashbacks to edit.
I edited them, focusing on the entry to and exit from flashbacks, as well as a flashback’s purpose. I also focused on what the authors do well and what I’d like to see more of.

Look how JK brilliantly uses the pensieve for mega-flashbacks in HP 6-7.

What she does with the pensieve is brilliant, creating such a great tool for entry and exit of flashbacks.
