I HATE changes of VP in one scene and don't think I've ever done it. All the problems/advantages you list are the ones I'd have mentioned too. What I have done in my adult novels is have, say, two MAIN pov characters and then each of these has sort of satellite characters attached to him/her. I change pov a lot but hope I always make it clear who's seeing the scene unfold. I use a lot of what the call in the USA 'Deep third person' which basically means; third person with a lot of internal thoughts going on in the VP character's head. I don't do first person very often but parts of my WIP are turning out to be that! I have one narrator ( the first person voice!) who is in her thirties and my other MAIN character is in her 70s and a third person pov for her. I think! So far....Thanks Anita for your post.adele gerasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931174431442299454.post-16529411880615039072009-08-31T10:29:25.434+01:002009-08-31T10:29:25.434+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005714506570642538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931174431442299454.post-2888011658343254782009-08-31T10:28:53.849+01:002009-08-31T10:28:53.849+01:00Hi Anita.

This year when I ripped August Rock apart I pulled out the hero vp and I think the story bacame much stronger with just the heroine and the ghost.<br /><br />In A Cornish House I did the same in the first rewrite - I pulled the hero's vp and left it with just the heroine and her step-daughter.<br /><br />In the current work it is just 2 again.<br /><br />I have only ever used first person in the blog experiment, The Dickens Challenge where I wrote a chapter a week of Explosive DReams) it was such fun - very freeing and for that story it didn't limit me but I can see how it would a straight jacket. <br /><br />lxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744937536946299450noreply@blogger.com
