Cherry Adair starts planning out her books from the POV of the villain...who is he/she...what does she/he want and why...what are the villain's triggerpoints. I'm using this method for my newest book.<br /><br />By the way, Vonnie, your links to blogs, etc., aren't working on your signature...in digest. Thought you'd like to know.

One thing we need to keep in mind, and I struggle with this...publishers want us to pick one and run with it. 3rd PPOV? Stay in that, DPOV? Stay with that. Do not mix third and deep POVs. *sigh* But they work so well together!

IMHO - you should get paid! :)<br /><br />However, I'm okay with occasionally moving the camera in and out on the scene - i.e. going from deep to more shallow POV. Especially when making a shift to another character's POV. But like with cooking, good spices should be used sparinging not to overcome the dish.<br /><br />Hmm - I must be hungry.Lynne Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156587180087372120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857180574575421857.post-29872481923391153672012-06-24T11:25:58.701-04:002012-06-24T11:25:58.701-04:00Glad you liked the snippet, Joanne.
