#WritersCoffeeClub 16: Flashbacks?
I overused them in "Marmalade Mercury", partly owing to the source material. In general I don't use them, unless I don't want the reader to know something until closer to the time when it's relevant.
Nothing against them. Unless it's one of those "surprise, we're in peril, so let's flash back for this entire next chapter to bleed out any tension as we explain how we got here" moments. Ugh.
