When I write Fantasy I worry that the passing of time, the travelling from one region to another, may come across as boring in a story. While trying to make a realistic timeline (i.e if my travellers are on foot it is going to take them several days to reach a destination) I try to incorporate danger/attacks/dialogue/ and sometimes just a quick sentence like 'several days later they made it to Joe Bloggs house'. How would you tackle the passage of time?
It depends on how long a time, I think. I might simply leave a double space between paragraphs, in a short story, and include mention of a sunrise/change in light/change in weather to make it clear time has moved. Or I might slip it into dialogue - "You've been staring out of that window for two days..." Or a thought - As she lifted the T-shirt over her head, she thought that she really must find a clean one today.
Hope that's helpful :)
Passage=Passing :/ sorry :p bad day for grammar and spelling today :)
