Started off in first, then changed to third and loved it better!<br />First time writing in third so still a little tripped up with whether it should be limited POV to the MC or omniscient (sees all)--what did you do?Christina Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799776834213400246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693050953762677969.post-18441083546385551302010-02-14T22:14:05.448-06:002010-02-14T22:14:05.448-06:00Hoorah for finding a beginning that actually works...Hoorah for finding a beginning that actually works! We've got four chapters down on our latest and we've been doing a lot of tinkering. It really takes time to get the right voice and the right tone for those critical first pages.
