Point of View/Reader's Expectations
Authors, what is your preferred writing POV? Is there one that is easier for you to write than another?
I am currently writing 3rd person. I would like to try 1st person at some point, but I wonder if readers would be put off if an author they're used to reading in one POV sometimes wrote a book in another?
On the same token, it might be fun for a reader to read something different from their favorite author.
Does anyone have any examples of an Author who writes both 1st person and 3rd person novels?
Happy Writing!

Book lengths--Long or Short and Sweet?
Hello :)
I am curious to know what readers prefer to read. Do you like to tuck into a really long book--400+ pages?
Or do you like a shorter book? One that you can get through in just a few hours?
--Happy Reading & Writing!

What To Do With the 'Untold' Stories in Your Head?
"In your head, in your head..."
What do you do when you get a new story idea--while you're trying to finish the current story?
Do you quickly scratch the new story idea down?
Does scratching it down open the flood gates-and 5 hours later you look up and realize you just outlined an entirely new story?
Do you ignore it?
But if you ignore it do you worry that it will fly away and be gone forever?
How do you handle the stories in your head when you're working on a WIP?

Writing Breaks
I just got back from a week in Las Vegas--where I attended some conferences and also had to take a exam to be certificated for my work. It was a long and grueling week--but I also had a great time checking out the lights and activities of the Las Vegas strip.
On many of those days I was so exhausted by the end of the day, that I didn't even crack open my laptop or attempt to write.
I looked at it as a nice mental break from writing. I so often become immersed in the stories in my head, and now more recently, the task of learning how to get self published, that I viewed break as a set back.
I now realize taking a break is sometimes healthy and needed to give your mind a chance to relax and come back to the writing refreshed and rejuvenated.
Who takes writing breaks? Would love to hear what you think about regular breaks during the writing process.
Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful day :)
