I'm have a quick question about writing in third person limited. If I'm going to expose a quick sentence or two of back story, how should I do it?
Like this: John knew that Greg had suffered from depression last year.
(John is the main character, btw.)
Or can I just say: Greg suffered from depression last year.
In other words, in third person limited, how far can I travel outside of my character's head to tell the story or describe things? What about describing locations and their history? Etc., etc.
Thanks in advance guys.
