Hello
When a period of time passes in a story, it can be shown using an asterisk (or two or three) between paragraphs, or using an extra space between paragraphs.
I'm working on one just now where only a fortnight has passed. The main character is attacked, then the story jumps forward to a fortnight later.
Do you think this is too short a time period to indicate using the above techniques? Could I start a new paragraph as normal and just mention the time that has passed?

Unless what has happened is so important that it warrants beginning a whole new chapter?
Personally, I would simply use a line space and begin the next paragraph without an indent.
