When I reread something, I want it to because it was fun, not because I need to make sense out of it. Not that it can't work, it's just hard to pull off.Lynn Andradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441055605537386816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580797059731805905.post-72206199830580790582009-09-21T20:27:29.724-07:002009-09-21T20:27:29.724-07:00I can't stand those head hopping novels.

My oldest daughter doesn't like 'em either.<br /><br />It's just seriously annoying to have to stop, go back and reread to figure out who's head you're in.<br /><br />I have to say though...my first NaNo novel is a pov shifting masterpiece.:-) I switched in the middle of scenes, middle of chapters and just where ever I felt like it. And while I LOVE the story, it's a revision nightmare. I've decided to tackle it though and get it right. The story's too good to just let sit on a flashdrive.<br /><br />You'll get your's revised one of these days too.:-)Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060752369115661100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580797059731805905.post-55252150114993870872009-09-21T08:56:31.247-07:002009-09-21T08:56:31.247-07:00You know what I find challenging is that romance n...You know what I find challenging is that romance novels just switch POV in the middle of things. First you're in her head, then you're in his. Totally disconcerting.<br /><br />For my first novel--you know, the one I don't like to talk about--we tried it from 3 POV's because there are three sisters. I don't think it works. It either has to be third person omni or told from one sister's perspective. Bummer that I waited until the first draft was finished to realize that, but I'm sure I'm right.<br /><br />CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.com
