As I mention in my "Page Dilemma" thread, I'm writing a modern day gangster drama. It's about the son of a gangster who was on the straight and narrow path, until tragedy caused him to follow his fathers footsteps. Now with chaos surrounding him, he struggles with the choice he made... And no, it's not similar to the Godfather .
The tragedy happens at the beginning when the main character is 18, then the story picks up 10 years later. So what I'm trying to accomplish is Flashback scenes to show the type of relationship they had and to carry the story along explaining it in detail, without using Voice Over.
So my question is: Is there an unwritten rule on Flashback scenes? How many are too much?
