POVs

I wrote “One Summer in the Sun” from a different point of view (there were three POV characters) in each chapter and stuck strictly to that point of view. Generally, I knew whose POV I would use well before I wrote the chapter but there were a few that could have been from anyone’s—or at least, two different characters. One must commit to one POV eventually.

Also, I never used the same character’s POV in two consecutive chapters. That helped me decide in situations where I was not certain who might work best. Of course, I didn’t do a strict rotation among the characters; that seems a bit silly as an approach. But I did not leave anyone out for too long.

Not surprisingly, I stuck to the same format for the sequel,"One Christmas in the Sun." I guess I am stuck with it if I write more!
