Timeline question
Heya everyone,

I finally caught up a little yesterday, pfew. I was worried I'd get too far behind.

I'm struggling a little with my outline, it's become more of a timeline. It spans about 20 years, starting at protagonist age 7 till 27 years. Is it possible to write a coherent piece over such a time? I'm thinking of skipping to 21 years and use flashbacks, but then 21 years till 27 years is still quite a jump, especially since there's a lull in action between 22 years and 25 years. Any tips or ideas are welcome!

Cheers,

Kali
