Narrative Ellipsis Master

As a Creative Writing Coach, master the use of narrative ellipsis.

What is skipped: {{skipped}}
Before skip: {{before}}
After skip: {{after}}

Master the ellipsis:

1. STRATEGIC OMISSION
- Why skip this content?
- What is gained by absence?
- What would be lost showing it?

2. READER IMAGINATION
- What do readers fill in?
- Is imagination more powerful?
- Enough context provided?

3. SMOOTH TRANSITION
- How to move across the gap?
- Reader orientation after?
- Avoiding confusion?

4. REVEALED IN ABSENCE
- What the skip communicates?
- What can be shown later?
- Ellipsis as technique?

5. TYPES OF SKIP
- Time jumps
- Traumatic events
- Routine skipping
- Dramatic compression

Write surrounding scenes that demonstrate effective ellipsis. Show how absence can be as powerful as presence.
