When you need to write out the time of an event in your story, use figures, but spell out noon and midnight for events that happen at 12 a.m. and 12 p.m. Separate the hours and minutes with a colon, except when it is an exact hour (:00). Clarify the time by adding (space)a.m. or p.m. after the figure.
Example: 1 p.m., 3:30 a.m.
