Quick and easy question here. I'm sure everyone is having fun writing their stories and stuff and I came across a common problem that I'm sure lots of people had problems with.
When writing a story, is there a way to word the story without using the three stars? (* * *)
For example, say that in a story a student is taking the test. You want to write about what the student is doing before the test and what happened after the student is done with the test. I don't want to write about what the student is doing during the test because, well, it's a test. What else do you do on a test besides scrutinize your brain over and over again until you have all your answers or give up?
Normally I tend to abuse the "# of time has passed" or say that the event is over in a new paragraph but I feel as though that way of writing is kind of dull or hasty. I was wondering if anyone has a certain style of writing that they use for this type of situation.
