Les Miserables sounds so interesting! I’ll have to read it soon!
One time when i read a series with differing POVs, there were a few in first-person, one in first-person present-tense, and then two more in third person. It was interesting, but not my favorite.
I totally have a weakness for redemption arcs… for awhile, it was so easy to just…[Read more]

I’d agree with you. I’m guessing that the amount of POV’s needed is what works best with the story, that being pretty much the most hard-and fast rule.
if there was a detective that had to listen to multiple recaps of the same event that drastically changed each time, or something that had many different POVs with only part fo the story, then…[Read more] -

That’s awesome! What style of narrative are you doing? (Like first person or third person?)
Your trilogy sounds so interesting btw!
I have multiple POVs in my WIP, I think about four at the moment, i may pare it down to three.
Thank you! I’ve definitely had a weakness for themes of reconciliation for nearly all the time I’ve been into writing.

How cool! Those themes are some of my favorites, too 🙂 . Will you have one POV or multiple?
Yes, it’s the one about Fabian and his brother Jake. I also hope to have Marian and a couple new characters to be introduced later play a big part in it, but I still have very little clue of what happens next. besides reconciliation happening, with a…[Read more]-
I’m going to have multiple POVs! Each of the three books is named after a character (first book named after Temira, Paul’s sister; the second after Naamah, a woman who endured persecution from Paul in his pre-conversion days; and the third after Seth, Paul’s adopted nephew). In each book, though, there will be other POVs besides the one from the…[Read more]

That’s so interesting! Sounds like you have your work cut out for you! Are you taking a break from your historical fiction in Bible times (is it called Biblical fiction?)
I think one of the themes I will be exploring in my WIP is reconciliation and forgiveness (my WIP is a continuation of my short story Ice).-
Yup, I sure do! XD
Yeah, I’m taking a bit of a hiatus from my Biblical fiction for now because I actually decided to expand my novel into a trilogy. Right now I’m kind of mulling over what that will look like and imagining titles for the books… so when I finish the novella, I’ll probably start outlining book one of the trilogy.
Those are great…[Read more]

You’re welcome!
Thank you so much for your feedback! It’s really helpful for me, especially since sci-fi is an unfamiliar genre for the hopeless fantasy nut. 😊
Marian and Jake (at least for now) were in a relationship in the past, but Jake had been hiding his illegal lifestyle from her and when she found out she…[Read more]

Thank you! It all felt pretty natural, but yes, it certainly is an adjustment.

Also, (if it works) here’s a picture of what Marian kinda looks like (her hair’s more of a bob though)

I didn’t think of joining NaNoWriMo this year… but now you mention it, I’m kinda tempted!

It’s going okay! May expand it into a trilogy, actually. Are you doing NaNoWriMo this year?

Wow! It definitely sounds like you’ve been busy. (I mean, getting engaged and then married… wow. XD) I’m so happy for you – that’s really exciting! But I bet it took some getting used to, for sure. Congratulations to you and your new husband!

You’re welcome! Yeah, I bet. XD
Ah yes, so the novella is focusing on themes of justice and injustice, crime and punishment, judgment and mercy, and where compassion and love enter into all that. The main question I’m exploring is “Is an act of violence ever permissible if it is done to protect and save someone else?” I’ve just been thinking…[Read more]

I actually have a fantasy rough draft set in a (I guess) Victorian-esque era where I did first-person retrospective. I found it great fun, until I couldn’t figure out how the darn thing would end. (but I haven’t given up on it!)
I recommend reading Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (which employs a First-person…[Read more]

The next thing Jake knew was his breath coming in gasps. The blizzard had passed, and the stars in the darkening sky gaped at him. He sat up, dusting a thin layer of ice off his suit. How long had he been unconscious? The unfamiliar peaks turned vivid red in the fading light, and he brought his knees up to his chest, shivering.

Thank you!!
I’m doing third person because I kind of feel like it fits better with the genre – also because in general, I prefer writing in third person by far. It just comes more natural to me, I guess!
