shazrashaSo I've abandoned my POV struggle until I'm not so close to the text I've written. Makes it easier to change the text if I give myself a break from it.
Instead I am now returning to my favourite of my universes to play in. Created as a world for my RPG group to run around in it has taken on a life of its own. My main story has been rewritten three times but still fights to be finished.
However I've started to allow myself to write the smaller extracts of life before the main plot. The things that shaped the way the world is Now (in the during the main plot time frame that is).
My main focus at the moment is the creation of one of the three cursed races of the world. After all it's not often you can focus on what would happen if suddenly for no reason one hundred thousand people just over night became something else.
Anyway I am on page three and really loving trying to explain their thoughts and fears while also showing what they can (and will) become.
Edit: Another one bites the dust... First draft panda dance. 8 1/2 pages in all. Now just need to edit it.
