Erynn's books rock =) And yes my moods do that! lol Too funny. <br /><br />Tonya, it just depends on the story and your targeted publisher as to whether or not 4 point of views would be okay. An editor might suggest toning it back to 3 but I've read a lot of stories especially lately with multiple points of views. So just go with your gut and what you believe makes the story better, and see what happens. I'm sure if an editor said "we'd like to publish this but can you narrow it down to 3 POV's?" you'd be more than willing ;)<br /><br />Rachelle, so happy we could help! Keep us posted on how things go =)Betsy St. Amanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326874709264159191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-7480761159539324162010-11-17T19:09:39.263-08:002010-11-17T19:09:39.263-08:00Thanks for answering my questions!

Another possibility for would be to write just one characters story & so on then blend them together! I tend to be a linear person so I want to do it straight through but that may not work in writing!Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500897912581589616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-25616186695164381182010-11-17T13:08:00.584-08:002010-11-17T13:08:00.584-08:00Tonya, I'm working on my first novel too and I...Tonya, I'm working on my first novel too and I have three characters and I alternate between the perspectives. Sometimes it's a lot to keep up with but it's more fun that way. At least for me. I think it also helps to give depth. I've read many books where there's only one or two events happening the whole book and it gets kinda boring and the characters often don't have as much development. But, again, that's just my opinion...Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465110059716285195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-41368515237902348592010-11-17T11:48:41.806-08:002010-11-17T11:48:41.806-08:00Do you think as a beginning writer it's wiser ...Do you think as a beginning writer it's wiser to start with a simpler story line? I've been having trouble tryingn to decide where to go with all the ideas I have for my characters & I just realized that maybe I've picked something to BIG for my first novel. I had wanted to switch perscpetives between four people & maybe that's the problem? I should only use one main character & build from there?Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500897912581589616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-9788071630147447442010-11-17T11:28:41.319-08:002010-11-17T11:28:41.319-08:00I have had those kinds of (pun) crappy days myself...I have had those kinds of (pun) crappy days myself. All I have to say is talk to someone, have a cup of coffee, and find a good book! (Erynn's Lauren Holbrooke series always makes a good day better :)<br /><br />When anybody else writes, do your moods go into the characters? I mean, like when you are cranky, your main character is?Emmanoreply@blogger.com
