I'm working on the final edits of Aurumenas, and guess what I decided to do? I've changed the POV to first person. This is actually something I had been contemplating for the last couple months of my initial edits, and a couple weeks ago, I decided to just get on with it. It's perfect and I love it, but unfortunately, I'm finding it difficult to work on that all day and then switch to a different POV in my other writing project, Wolf Moon.
So yesterday, I sat for an hour staring at my computer screen trying to write the first line of my next installment before I finally gave up. :( I'm afraid I'm going to have to put it on hold until Aurumenas is completely done (this summer). In the meantime, I'm going to use Mondays to keep all of you up-to-date on its completion. I will admit that I am entirely obsessed with Aurumenas right now and I'm dying to share.
Check in next Monday! I demand it! :)
I considered changing POV in my first MS I'm querying, but I've got way too much going on, and I'd lose something. It's also 115,000 words, and I'm just not that ambitious ;-) So, my new WIP is first person.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a HUGE undertaking. There are several chapters that I have to completely rewrite because they aren't in the POV of my MC. Sigh. Slowly, but surely. It is MUCH better, though, and I'm absolutely in love.
ReplyDeleteAnd Justine, I'm looking forward to your latest blog post! I've been anxiously awaiting it these last few days. :)
