If the author skips back and forth multiple times within the same few paragraphs, it gets a bit jarring.<br />But I'm all for omniscient when it's done well!Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-75305369550657258472011-07-22T10:51:43.522-04:002011-07-22T10:51:43.522-04:00I just ordered Compis to my Kindle.

But obviously, as Compis is written that way, I would say I'm a fan of it, when it is properly separated by chapter. :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593882598668421250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-42567324039333420212011-07-20T19:50:44.069-04:002011-07-20T19:50:44.069-04:00Thanks Julius!Thanks Julius!Nadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-81410997001291442682011-07-20T17:32:42.101-04:002011-07-20T17:32:42.101-04:00I love the many points of view style of writing, i...I love the many points of view style of writing, it gives more depth, feeling, and gets the reader more involved or connected. To hell with the 'system'. You said it: art is art. But the last half of that statement is: and art is truly so to the artist. Let the willing flocks agregate to your style, thus establishing YOUR fanbase/following. All others will diverge to what they like. Good for them, but better for you. The more you try to please and adhere to everyone's standard, the more unlike YOUR story is being told. <br />JuliusJulius Cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427230227865439672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-86935590077667476882011-07-20T15:24:53.462-04:002011-07-20T15:24:53.462-04:00Em ~ Glad to hear you have something new in the wi...Em ~ Glad to hear you have something new in the wings! New projects are so exciting. It is difficult to make these decisions, especially when there is the possibility that after getting 15k into it, you may decide you want to try the other option. That can be disheartening. But you'll never know unless you 'give it a whirl'! Good luck. ~ NadjaNadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-28049860396138913052011-07-20T15:13:22.067-04:002011-07-20T15:13:22.067-04:00I am starting a longer piece (hopefully, maybe, on...I am starting a longer piece (hopefully, maybe, one day!) and am in the planning stages. I am stuck on which perspective to write it from and can't decide between writing from one character to several characters points of view. I plan to try one way and see how I feel!<br /><br />Hope the rest of your week goes well!Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069696625147455758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-41647536506230713262011-07-20T14:30:01.028-04:002011-07-20T14:30:01.028-04:00Thanks ladies!

I know what you mean about those critiques that seem to loathe dynamic point of view. In the end, we must write what pleases us. <br />K.V. ~ Thanks for stopping by! Glad to meet you. I enjoy the dynamic point of view also... (as if you didn't know that from my post!) :) I'm encountering many readers who feel the same way. ~ NadjaNadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-65941095339952968672011-07-20T14:08:13.379-04:002011-07-20T14:08:13.379-04:00Hi, new follower :) Found your link over at ROW80....Hi, new follower :) Found your link over at ROW80.<br /><br />I just wanted to say I LOVE the dynamic point of view and really loved your metaphore for it. I think more books should be written from multiple POVs. One of my WIPs is written from 3 and I might add in a 4th.<br /><br />Sounds like you're making great progress with your goals, keep up the hard work :)K.V.

I wrote a few scenes using dynamic point of view for a now-abandoned story, and one of the critiques I was received was the fact that I didn't stick to a single perspective in the scene, but instead bounced between the protagonist and antagonist. I admit, ever since then I've been feeling a little nervous about 'breaking the rules' and all of that.<br /><br />An interesting note: one of my goals this summer has been to read as many regency romances by Georgette Heyer as possible. One thing that I have noticed is that she frequently writes scenes from perspectives other than the hero and heroine. "Sylvester" includes scenes written from the point-of-view of the heroine's best friend, and maybe 1/3 of "The Convenient Marriage" is told from the perspective of the heroine's brother.jamilajamisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343161298632681693noreply@blogger.com
