    I usually begin with a Preface in order to draw my readers in: from there I go to the beginning and gradually let the story unfold. I try to avoid 'flashbacks' as I find sometimes, they interrupt the story. If I let my character have a 'flashback' I like to keep it to 1 sentence. Just published a non-fiction and now writing a fiction. Thanks for the advice Maggie Long

    Thank you. I had to listen twice only because I am writing an Non-Fiction book. However, I had a revelation as I watched the second time that I can include an "insiding action" element in by story. After all, you mention that you were speaking "mostly" of fiction stories, not "just" fiction stories. Thanks again for your guidance

    Hi I am Lavell Harris, as a young Author, Writer, and poet I feel that your advice was most needed, and things I have to start to think about more while writing and telling a story. Thanks. Email: h.lavell@yahoo.com
