I have come across several seasoned authors who are alternating between first and third person. I find that I enjoy diving into more than one character's mind. At least for me, it enriches the story.Laila Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430076999393883312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-66386949592812993672009-11-24T10:42:00.772-08:002009-11-24T10:42:00.772-08:00Guilty as charged!

Unfortunately I did have a lot of information I wanted the reader to know. I revised the section, however the information that I wanted to pass on to the reader did not get fully transferred. I am OK with this lack of content for now, however it will have to be done somewhere at some point, but clearly in lower doses.Lorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-89400071400249593262009-11-20T08:57:00.736-08:002009-11-20T08:57:00.736-08:00Scott, thank you for the post.

And further, sometimes one's character makes a wrong assumption about what another is thinking, while the reader gets it right, which can add to the story.Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404818053292364819noreply@blogger.com
