Read the excerpt from Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences. 1815-1897.
I still recall, too, going into the large darkened parlor to
see my brother, and finding the casket, mirrors, and
pictures all draped in white, and my father seated by his
side, pale and immovable. As he took no notice of me,
after standing a long while, I climbed upon his knee,
when he mechanically put his arm about me and, with
my head resting against his beating heart, we both sat in
silence, he thinking of the wreck of all his hopes in the
loss of a dear son, and I wondering what could be said or
done to fill the void in his breast.

memory?

response?
no

c hope this you

what excerpt?

explanation:

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)
