Is it just me, or does this feel like Monday? Hell, I woke up thinking it WAS Monday, so maybe that's why. :shrug: Either way, I'm thoroughly unmotivated today.
Christmas? Bleh.
Writing? Bleh.
Editing? Bleh.
You get the picture. I don't feel like doing anything, and that includes flopping on the couch to watch TV or going back to bed. How's that for limbo? I don't feel like doing anything, but I don't feel like doing nothing either. xop
Of course, it probably doesn't help that Sunday night I came to the conclusion that DLN needs a total rewrite from third limited to first person. I even had the snazzy new beginning all planned out in my head as I lay there trying to sleep. Then I fell asleep and by morning the plan was gone. Stupid brain. Anyway, I did manage to remember some of it, and I got the beginning rewritten last night, so it's not all crappadoodledoo.
Okay, enough about me. Time for a quick writerly question:
How would you feel about a book that's written in first POV for the most part but has a few choice scenes in third? Or would it be one of those cases of 'if it's well-written, anything goes'?
Yes. Now snap out of it.
ReplyDeleteyep, if it's well written it could be terrific! I can't help you snap out of it. I've been like that for about 2 months now! I will tell you, don't let it take hold on your bound to end up like me!
ReplyDeleteI think you have the right of it. If it's well written then you're good to go. I've read some first person books I loathed, while I've read others I've loved.
ReplyDeleteLOL Kristen. Will do.
ReplyDeleteWhat Kristen said, Jennifer. I think we both need a little snapping out of it.
I think this is the right POV, Natalie. I'm just wondering if I can pull off a shift to third for some of the flashback scenes. I guess I'll rewrite it and see how the scenes work.
