OK gotcha. In the text, as far as scene changes are concerned, in some cases there are blank lines while in others there were none, so I'll add the asterisks accordingly. As far as the diary entries are concerned, the reader can tell well the diary entries begin and end since the person who is reading the journal/diary is not the person who actually wrote it and she (person who is reading it) voices her thoughts between the entries. In this case, I won't add the asterisks there and will delete many of the scene change asterisks as well...thanks guys! This is appreciated alot!
