I am working on a story about a woman who does not learn from her mistakes, repeating the same one many times, and how her thick headed choices impacts everyone around her. I am trying to decide how I want to lay out the timeline.
I am starting the story in current time, then I flash back to incident #1. From there, I could continue to incident #2 and write all the way through to where I left off in current time, or I could write incident #1, then a current time scene which leads to another flashback, and switch back and forth.
I am leaning toward flashbacks interspersed with current time, but I would love to get your opinions.
As a reader, which would you rather read?
Thanks!
