First of all, a little background--I'm working on a romance/historical novella that involves two narrators and lots of flashbacks, identified by changes in date, which come with the chapter heading. I have the flashbacks spaced out evenly among the rest of the story, in a rhythm that hasn't changed in the twenty-four chapters I've written. The flashbacks show either significant moments in the narrators' relationship, or details that become important later on. This has been working fine so far, but I'll end up running into a problem in just a few chapters. The climax is a huge disaster that I don't want to interrupt with flashbacks (the reader will have all the necessary information by then, anyway). I was thinking of using the beginning of that as a cut-off point for the flashbacks. Is it okay to just stop writing them like that, or would that be too confusing?
Thanks in advance!
