I have started to write a new begining for my novel and I've reached a point where the reader "looks" at a black and white photograph in a newspaper ... and then, he is transported into the real scene, when that picture was taken (at least that's what I want it to feel like). the scene obviously starts with the flash of light, but my question is how do I make this transition in time? Do I use the ' * ' alone in one line and then start a new paragraph? Is there a rule for this kind of thing?
Ex: (nohting to do with the story)
A Man watched an old tape of a birthday party.
* «----this is what I mean
A video camera recorded a happy birthday party where little kids...and the story goes on.
In my novel it's better written...and it's with a newspaper photo....But I hope you people understand what my doubt is.
