Re: Keeping Track of Time

Part of the fun is when you start a new chapter and get a sense (either immediately, or as events transpire) that time has jumped, without being explicitly told. Then you get the added fun of trying to work out how the disparate timelines intertwine, which is usually revealed at the end of the story to great effect

Edit: Or include them all for your own reference, to help you when writing. If when you take them all out at the end, things no longer make sense, then you might want to go back and rewrite some stuff
