I’m writing a novel in a running first person narrative. However, there is also a descriptive narrative telling the reader what is actually going on – both in real time and in some instances the recent past. There is also of course the dialogue between characters in quotes both in real time and the recent past as well. My question is how do I separate the two narratives format wise? This is actually a screenplay being converted into an ebook for Amazon - I know, it’s backwards. If I were doing this in the opposite direction it wouldn’t be a problem. There are a lot of devices in script writing format to deal with this, but novel writing requires a much different toolkit.
