The reasons for this blog: 1. To provide basic author information for students, teachers, librarians, etc. (Please see sidebar) 2. I think out loud a lot as I work through writing projects, and I'm trying to dump most of those thoughts here rather than on my friends.

Was trying to find a book I have on hand that covers movement from place to place, to see how it's handled. Picked up my copy of MW Turner's The Thief, because I know that has a lot of journeying. Just glancing through, it looks like she used white space to show time passing. Sometimes a day passes during the break; sometimes just a few minutes. The scene is set briefly at the beginning of each one, and they don't necesssarily end on a "hook," per se.
