What I'm Listening To: East to West-Casting Crowns
This is a lovely revision tip from Laura Anderson's blog
You should basically follow her and other seasoned authors if you are a an aspiring author.
Revision Tip #22
Are you sure that you've chosen the right point of view for your novel?
Take your favorite chapter and rewrite from a different POV; shift from third to first, or first to third, or if you are bold and way smarter than me, experiment with the second person POV.
Or.... (and.....) fool around with the tense structure. If your story is told in present tense, rewrite that favorite chapter in past tense. If you've written the whole thing in past tense, try out that chapter in present tense.
What's the point of all this mucking around? It helps you see your characters and the Story from a slightly altered perspective.
On another note, it's my bro's birthday. Happy 17th JJ :)
