Thread: Quick question!!

I'm in the middle of wiritng a novel, and, up until now, there's been a steady flow of present time and flashbacks, which I have incorporated into the sotry by italicizing them. This new chapter is all in the past and I'd like to get some feedback on my options. I need to know how to let the reader know that it's in the past without italicizing the entire chapter, because it seems unnecessary, but I don't know if it'd be enough to italicize only the chapter's title. Any suggestions?

Do you use headings below your chapters? For example:

11

NATIONAL MILITARY COMMAND CENTRE

THE PENTAGON

TWO MONTHS EARLIER

You could do it that way. If not, you could have an explanatory opening paragraph to tell the reader what they're reading took place in the past.

I haven't been using headings, but that could really work. Thanks

You're welcome.
