They can do day to day stuff easily. We see a character going to bed. We see them eating a croissant and drinking coffee. The audience easily conjectures that this is the morning after. Boof.<\/p>\n<p>But Big Time? For movies, that\u2019s hard. The old Hitchcock era movies used to handle those things by pages flipping off a wall calendar, shots of the changing seasons. (Wind! The universal signal of autumn. Snow! The universal signal of winter. And so on.)<\/p>\n<p>Now all that\u2019s a bit crass, a bit heavy. These days, movie makers attempt something slicker, even if it\u2019s just a caption at the bottom of the screen or a speeded-up, CGI of the wind-snow-crocuses model of passing time.<\/p>\n<p>You, a novelist, don\u2019t have the same problem. If you want to tell the reader it was two years later, you can just say \u201cTwo years passed.\u201d That\u2019s simple, clean narration. It doesn\u2019t have that CGI, calendar flying clunkiness. No one will resent your simple captioning.<\/p>\n<p>But time offers so much more. It\u2019s not a problem to be dealt with, but a dimension to be embraced. Think of it like place, a silent character, a huge extra richness in your broth.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of how you can use it \u2013 but there are a million more. Think of these examples as mere appetite prompters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cold Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Changes in weather is a technique so obvious, it could come close to a flipping calendar in terms of crassness. But it really doesn\u2019t have to be like that. The novel of mine that made most use of the weather was Love Story, with Murders. There, I carefully seeded the earlier chunks of the book with hints of chill and forecasts of something much colder on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Then, before the cold had actually arrived, my character was fussing around with giant red snow shovels and the like, but in a context where those things felt odd and out of place.<\/p>\n<p>Then \u2013 the snow arrived. Canadian levels of snow and cold in a country that doesn\u2019t normally get much of either. The snow wrought huge changes in the landscape, but also in Fiona\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>Alone in a remote cottage with inadequate provisions, she is forced to adapt her diet:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:20px;\"><em>Make tea. There\u2019s nothing herbal here, so I make do with a regular tea-bag. No milk either, so just brew a pint of hot, black tea in a huge pottery mug. Contrary to my usual habit, I add sugar, to take away the taste of the metallic mountain water, the strongly tannined tea. It tastes like sweetened bog-water, but is nevertheless somehow welcome. A comfort against the cold.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not strictly about either weather or time, and yet it is both. By compelling us to register change, we notice both the cold and the time. And those changes register not just in feelings-of-being-chilly and making-of-log-fires, but also in unexpected ways \u2013 earthenware cups and sweet, tannined tea. Time and the cold become multidimensional: they disrupt habits, force giant earthenware cups into our hands, change the taste of tea.<\/p>\n<p>And then, of course, time and the story proceed.<\/p>\n<p>Fiona almost dies in the cold. And then the snow melts, and she encounters her normal landscape, post-snow with its dirty urban water and gritted streets.<\/p>\n<p>Because the changes of weather were viscerally felt by the character herself, the <em>timescape<\/em> in the book also registered acutely. And the felt passage of time is so close to the actual experience of story, the reader ends up having a deeper experience than they otherwise would. It\u2019s kind of magical, but it definitely happens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Big Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My <em>Lieutenant\u2019s Lover<\/em> began a love story in St Petersburg in 1917 \u2013 separated the characters for a quarter of a century \u2013 then brought them together again in post-War Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>Any love story needs to achieve the ache of longing, and there are probably more subtle techniques than the one I used. But dropping two world wars, one revolution, plenty of gulag, and a thousand miles of separation between the two characters certainly did the trick. A character only had to glance back over that past \u2013 a sentence, two sentences \u2013 for the reader to feel the scale of the loss and the longing.<\/p>\n<p>And all those little markers of age \u2013 an attractive seventeen-year-old girl turning into a middle-aged Red Army sergeant \u2013 made that weight of time present on every page<\/p>\n<p>Also, my choice of time and place meant that the physical world always reflected the passage of time. The Berlin of my love story was a place of rubble. The factory that had once belonged to my male protagonist was so completely bombed out that virtually nothing remained. A youth using its slim remaining shelter christened it the <em>Nichtsfabrik<\/em>, the Nothing Factory.<\/p>\n<p>That book with its huge, tragic timescape, just felt big to a reader. It wasn\u2019t (by my standards) massively long, but the love story took on an epic quality simply by virtue of the passing years \u2013 and the weight with which the readers felt those years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Precise Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of my books, some time back, was struggling in its near-to-final draft. Everything that needed to be there was there. The story had no fundamental problems, but it didn\u2019t yet have the iron hardness of something ready to print.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of things fixed that book. One was just hard editing. Literally, an edit that looked for and deleted spare words, eliminated unwanted sentences. My character\u2019s voice is always taut, even if my writing\u2019s only at 95%. But that extra 5% brought that tautness to a line of constant tension. A glittering brightness.<\/p>\n<p>But the other thing was: nailing the timeline. Figuring out if the gap between Event A and Event B was four days or five days and being explicit about it. The surprising thing about correcting that timeline was that I\u2019d unconsciously been avoiding proper description, because I knew I was blurry about time. So if my character was out and about in central Cardiff, and I didn\u2019t know what day of the week it was, I\u2019d pull back from really describing the streets. A Wednesday quietness? Or a Saturday bustle? The hubbub of a rugby match at the Millennium Stadium? Or pensioners enjoying a discounted Thursday morning haircut?<\/p>\n<p>The precision of timing didn\u2019t just help my readers sort timings through in their heads. More important, it helped me. That last twist of the lens helped achieve that final, defining focus.<\/p>\n<p>That book turned out a good \u2019un in the end.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it from me. The blackberries are early this year, but not sweet. I think we need a day or two of sunshine. Which, oh my merry non-British friends, is something you can completely and utterly rely on in the fine county of Oxford.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Don&#8217;t forget I want to see your dialogue snippets.
