Screwed me over! ( I think).
I got into the whole Chronicles of Narnia, reading all seven books this past month, and at first it actually improved my writing (granted it took me some time to get used to the whole 3rd person Omni, at first I was like "this sucks!" But then Lewis really drew me into his world and it was fantastic).
But in my chapter 28 I must admit I think in the end I have screwed myself, because I seem to struggle between 3rd person limited and 3rd person Omni BAH, darn myself for thinking I could get away with reading another POV while working on my ms!
-sigh- So, I've been debating on throwing it up on SYW to let people shred it to bits and tell me what needs to be fixed, or just finishing the novel all together (5 more chapters to go!) before. But I dunno, I'm the kind of person that stresses over something (total OCD freak here) if it isn't going to be fixed soon. I'll probably comb through it before I start my next chapter just because that's what I do.
The other major thing is telling, for I want to say 3rd person omni has some tendancies to tell more than show (I could be wrong, I'm still learning about that whole subject) but either way I've noticed I fell back into old habits. Damn!
Well the good thing is I FINISHED the chapter after battling with characters who did not want me to do anything with them.
Has anyone else had this problem? Reading a different POV and it mess you up? Sure I could read another book in the POV I'm working in to right me, but frankly I want to finish my book now lol.
