Point Of View
Hi,
So life's been extremely hectic this last month with family over from India. I was hoping to have edited at least 100 pages of the 2nd book but I'm nowhere close to that.
What I did manage to successfully do was rewrite 1 scene which had no Point Of View. After 9 years - no 10 years of professional writing, (more actually) you'd think I'd know that a POV is missing in the work! Well, obviously I didn't because I didn't think it was needed? Because I didn't realize it? Because I didn't see it? Because I was blind?
I'll just say ALL OF THE ABOVE! But when I did see what was missing, it was like an insight. Starting over.
So come tomorrow, I return to the ms. and since there's a 2nd scene which needs deep thought and extension into the whole story arc... the recent exercise might just prove its worth! But then I have to think and rethink again, right?
I can't wait to get back in! But I think I'll spend tonight getting my feet wet by just thinking about it!
