What's the proper way of formatting writing from a character in a novel?

+1
−0

I'm writing a story that constantly shows what the characters are writing. I would like to know how to format that. Right now I'm doing it like this (please ignore the grammar, it is a rough draft):

The young women dressed as a nurse goes to the bar and orders a sandwich. After that, she check around looking for a sit. She finally decides to sit in one which is in front of the young man. He completely ignores that action and keeps writing. After some minutes, he finally stops to see what he has written.

Imaginary Interior Being Disorder. The patient loses contact with symbiosis and one-ness with nature and universe. Since he loses this connection, he doesn’t know what will happen if he dies, this makes the patient to be terrified of death. So he finally creates a invisible, eternal being to compensate that.

Any suggestions?
