I'm approaching the writing of my novel from a very 'visual' aspect. As I write I imagine watching the scene appear as if on a screen. My novel has two stories running concurrently - one in the present, the other in the past.
That being said, in any given chapter where I want to 'switch cameras' - changing from one scene to another, I am presently using a line space to do so.
I have a niggling feeling this is the wrong procedure and hope you may be able to help me out of this hole which I am digging deeper for myself.
Example:
Moments later he observed the ladder being raised, wobbled about, then lowered until it disappeared altogether. He glanced at his watch. I’ll give ‘em twenty minutes. If they don’t reappear I guess I’d better go check things out.
Number One took cover behind the massive trunk of an ancient oak and raised a fist to signal his men to halt. Seconds later he waved them forward till all three men were hunched down behind the tree.
Thank you
