So say the novel is written in first-person tense. a chapter ends, and the next chapter starts 10 days later. Here I start narrating something that happened 5 days ago in past tense as a flashback.
So instead of day1(present) > day5(present) > day10(present)
I go day1(present) > day10(present) > day5(past. Flashback/backstory)
Do you think this would add variety to the writing? Or just be too distracting of an excuse to break from the present-tense writing?
