So in my current WIP the main character suffers from chronic pain. It's an ever-present kind of thing but one she has learned to deal with.
What I'm not certain of is how often the readers need to be reminded of it. Obviously, I don't think that I need to bring it up on every page but I don't want the reader to forget about it. But since the character is able to cope they get on fine in their day-to-day.
Now I think you'd probably have to read the book to give me a definitive opinion, but if anyone has some examples they could point to where it's been done before or some points of consideration that might help guide me, I'd be very appreciative.
thanks
