I have it somewhat laid out in my head but my characters aren’t cooperating. It’s too early into the story to turn them completely loose, so I’m taking a breather from it for a few days. It’s either that or pull all my hair out and I’d look pretty ridiculous bald.Anne Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987589478553339355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814394024455837103.post-76037940056351464702009-08-04T03:38:22.803-07:002009-08-04T03:38:22.803-07:00My first novel (still trying to get it published) ...My first novel (still trying to get it published) is alternates between the POV of most of the major characters.<br />It is sooo hard making each sound convincingly different.<br />It hasn't driven me entirely bonkers as I am continuing the same approach with my sequel.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625543235578144620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814394024455837103.post-64543428807927761832009-07-30T20:28:48.387-07:002009-07-30T20:28:48.387-07:00I've always imagined I'd write solely in t...I've always imagined I'd write solely in third person with some omniscient thrown in there but a few of my rougher WiPs are screaming for first person, which seems to be on the rise lately, esp. in YA. Promised a fellow writer I'd produce a first chapter for a swap. I've got 85% of the darn thing fully outlined but I didn't know 'till I started writing it was gonna be one of those screamers. Ah well. <br />I too am a night person - too bad I have kids that have to be up early to go to school - I'd sleep 'till noon if I didn't.Banhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450115293974960761noreply@blogger.com
