Creative Writing professors, editors, and literary critics rarely suggest that flashbacks and head hopping in writing are a good thing, yet we still see these approaches used fairly often today. Head hopping and flashbacks can even be considered plot devices and are used in movies, TV shows, video games, and books, but often, they are not used well. There isn’t a perfect way to employ these techniques, but they can be effective tools for helping put together an intriguing and engrossing story. This week, I’ll be examining these writing techniques and sharing a few tips and suggestions about how to employ them in your writing, if you should find yourself in need of them. When and how to use these approaches might make the difference for your story!
