Transition

I'm usually not good at transitions - you know, the "they walked through the woods for days. Then the adventure started again" type of phrases. I always feel like I have to fill in every detail, or I'm cheating.

But I'm getting better, and since I had to cover a four-year gap in the middle of a chapter of my Celtic MG/YA, I really needed to be concise.


This right here is quite possibly my favorite out of all the transition phrases I've ever written:

Life continued to be mildly not-fair for the next four years, at which point it took, in Cadi’s opinion anyway, a flying leap into monstrously unfair.

I'm not sure if I'll actually keep it in the final draft or if I'll end up editing it out due to it having a slightly different tone than the rest of the chapter - but for now, I'm just quite tickled over it.

How do you handle transitions?
