Scene separators

I was talking with LAoW last night, and I realized that she didn't know what my different scene separators meant.  I figured if she didn't know, then probably others didn't, either.

I have two scene separators.  The first one is:

-----

This one represents a change in time of day, or in character perspective.  (For instance, if I were to change from one character who is in one place, to another person who is spying on the first, I would use this separator.)

My other separator is:

~~≈≡≈~~~≈≡≈~~~≈≡≈~~

This is what I call the "day separator".  If I use this one, regardless of what else has happened, the day has changed.  A change in perspective may accompany this change in day, but there will be a change in day, when this separator is used.

Anyway, I just thought it might be helpful if this was elaborated on.

Re: Scene separators

You know I appreciated this. I am a detail whore even if my grammar is terrible and often my spelling. But I see things that authors do and they often don't explain it and it is often unique to each author. So thank you so much for the explanation about this. I have been thinking about doing something similar and creating my writing guidelines type of thing where what each thing means in any story I write to give some uniformity. Again thanks for letting us know.
