I am currently working on my fifth book and I'm considering using flashbacks to help explain some of the back story of the characters. I'm not 100% sure about this method. I've read books that use flashbacks and it can be done well, but I'm not sure that I have the talent to pull it off.
My problem then becomes, how do I cover the character's past without making them talk about it. I get nervous when I see a lot of dialogue on my page. I'm not sure why that is, because I also get nervous when I don't see enough! I'm just a nervous writer. I don't write to please others, but I still worry about having it all make sense.
Should I just go with my gut and continue on with what I've started? The characters' voices are pretty loud right now, so I don't want to lose them. I've had this story and these two characters for about a year, but I've just recently got them down on "paper". I don't want to lose the momentum. Just wondering if I should consider other options.
