[stylist] DBG (chapter 4)

[LoriStay at aol.com]

Moving around in time is fine, if you anchor the chronology.   In the book 
I mentioned, The Time Traveler's Wife, each entry was dated, so we knew 
which ones landed in the past and which moved forward in time.   If you are 
setting your story on earth, you can use the usual calendar.   If not, you can 
invent years, months, etc.

Yes, I'm still interested in the story.   It takes a lot to confuse me, 
which is why I try to be aware of what will confuse others.
