And ...Glad I'm not the only POV switcher-upper! And I totally know what you mean about present tense—I'm generally not a huge fan of it either. Not 100% sure if I'll be using it in my next novel or not… We'll see.<br /><br />And thanks for the encouragement! I'm really hoping this novel will be The One for me. :-)<br /><br />Good luck with your NaNo novel! I can't wait till November!!Joanna Ruth Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053542093315073091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880959587418064473.post-34935131983736342552014-09-06T12:41:44.092-07:002014-09-06T12:41:44.092-07:00I know what you mean about switching it up. All of...I know what you mean about switching it up. All of my full length novels are slightly different in terms of POV and, as you say, I think that just makes sense because different stories need to be told different ways. My project for this year's NaNo is going to be first person, alternating POV (between to MCs), past tense. Last year's was alternating close third (alternating between 8 different POVs), also past tense. I have never tried writing more than a short story in present tense and I find I don't particularly enjoy writing it or reading it, but I have found exceptions to that. Good luck with this latest endeavor! <br /><br />Bummer about pitch wars, by the way. I didn't wind up getting my act together in time, so I didn't even try. Good job submitting, and actually getting some feedback! And good luck with PitMad! Perseverance is key! Or so they tell me. :-)Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491166048513589728noreply@blogger.com
