All the bits inside the Asterix' are basically clearly denoted to being important, but seperate, to what's going on


Think of it like a psychic giving a reading in the story. The actual reading may be a plot point, but what he/she is seeing is not happening where they are, so you'd use that to denote it

Well thank you very much for clearing that up for me, man.


If I can remember in a year or so when this is actually finished, you'll definitely be in the acknowledgments. Along with everyone else who's giving some help.

You guys are always very helpful.


EDIT: I was also wondering about POV character changes. Each chapter is portrayed by one character's POV at a time, but in one chapter at the very end, the last paragraph suddenly changes to another character's POV. Would I do the same thing with the asterisks (right now I just have it separated by skipping two lines instead of one)?

Yeah, you could do, although i can't actually think of a situation i could cite for that one way or the other

As long as the change is clear, it should be pretty good no matter what you do. I know a girl who used to write, who used to indent entire sections to denote different scenarios, and it did seem to work i must admit

I'm sure that unless the reader's retarded they'll be able to tell where the change takes place.
