Dad, your voice is so calming for me. I had a very long night, so I actually had a hard time not falling asleep. Cause your voice is just so soothing to me 😄
I love you dad, have a fantastically wonderful week!
Goal is to get a bunch of chapters edited, art completed and then scheduled....and THEn start designing a floating fortress in the sky to avoid zombies...with at least 4 helicopter pads.
Regarding POV, you could have another character POV chapter. Someone who could tell that patt of story. But it would be in the same first person tense, just a different character's POV. Shifting between 1st & 3rd person is hard on the reader IMO.
It does make sense, but the 3rd person you are talking about would come across as an unknown narrator, so that would also break what you've established. Perhaps another work around is having Wendell tell it, but have him admit he's coming to the reader after the fact and filing in a story point that he didn't know until it was all over, but he feels the reader needs to know at that point of the story. So you'd be shifting from Wendell in present to past tense, or even Wendell telling it in present after a note inserted that explains he wished he knew this at the time. That seems a better shift, as long as you explain it. It might also work within your storytelling.
1000% agree with Ruby. Smart girl 😁

Sounds like a very busy week
Thank you...!!!!!!
Your openings always crack me up. And btw you live in a magical world and always bring us along for the ride.
...I'm glad my friends inspire me too.
They allow me to be myself....whatever THAT is.
That=awesome!

I really like the idea of Wendell as the only 1st person POV, so the rest of the story feels completely different, making him stand out more. =)
I want readers to connect personally with Wendell and not with other characters as readily, if that makes sense?

Hmmmmm.
Gonna have a think on that one.
Thank you.
