Question

I'm writing a flashback in a book. Should I write it in first person and present tense like the rest of the book? Or should I write the flashback (4 months earlier) in first person past tense?

Answer 1

There is no correct answer, it depends on the author of the book. Each author has their own style.

Explanation:

But most write the flashback with the title saying is flashback (4 months earlier) and the body paragraph is in first person past tense.
