I was recently having trouble deciding which POV to write a scene in. I wrote it in both and still wasn’t sure. I had compelling arguments for both scenes so I enlisted the help of my writing group, who was also split down the middle. Someone suggested to me that I employ a technique called a Baton Pass POV change. As a newer writer, I’m not sure if I can pull this off. I have a decent understanding and control of POV in 3rd person limited, but this seems challenging. I’m not afraid to challenge myself so I’m going to write it and see if it does indeed help the scene, or if it becomes more of a hinderance. I’m pretty sure I understand the concept: Go from deep POV with character A, use some sort of object as a “baton" and through both characters connection (physical or not) to that object, move to deep POV with character B. Sounds simple, but I think this could be jarring and head-hoppy if not done really well. I’ve been trying to research this and haven’t found much. I was wondering if anyone here has used this. If you have, why? Has anyone seen published work where this is done well? What do acquiring editors think of this technique? Especially from newer writers. Thank you in advance for any insight.
