Quick Tips to Stay in Character
Manage episode 419827868 series 3391468
Don't be a bunny. Avoid head hopping.
We're tackling one of Megan's biggest pet peeves this week; head hopping, or changing character point of view without a visual transition in between.
It happens when authors switch from the internal monologue or emotions of one character into another character, within the same scene, without a scene break or chapter break to identify the new point of view.
Tip #1: Know your point of view
Tip #2: Put yourself in the head of the character. Only write what that character can see or feel.
