Weekend Break

by Robert Cowles
21st June 2016

In my book I have reached Friday night Saturday morning (5 am) I want to skip now to Monday morning, which is the best way to do this without it looking either daft or frustrating to the reader.

The weekend has no significant​s to the story line or the characters in the book.

Thank you so much for taking time out to answer my question,

I have now resolved the issue, I sat on it to long instead of accepting the obvious

Chapter break. No explanation is necessary if you have come to a natural break point. Unless it's vital to the plot, you don't have to account for every single day - fictional time is not the same as real time. The only thing is to make sure that you keep a track of which day is which, so that you don't end up with a ten-day week, or a Wednesday happening after Thursday.
