I am comfortable with flashbacks, but here is a question based on some feedback I recently received:
If I start with a man who is 50, then 'flashback' to him when he's 24, but that is where the majority of the story takes place (we don't return to him when he's 50 until the end), is that a flashback?
Someone was like "There's no flash about it! I kept waiting to see when we return, grrr."
Thoughts? Should I consider doing it differently, like just do a title that says "26 years earlier" and forget about the flashback? Does it matter?
Thanks!
