I NEED to stop writing multiple-perspective novels. Seriously.

Being two people here isn't working either. Fire is me and Squirrel, or currently, just moi.

Schizo, much?

Yes well I think writing is totally an act on insanity, really. Making up fantasies, characters, using semi colons-it's all just crazy really. But there are much worse crazy things I could be doing.
When you look at your life, in a strange new room, maybe drowning soon, is this the start of it all?

Want a fun multi-perspective? Villain and hero. I'm actually doing that for one story!

As one author put it: some people go to a psychologist when they hear voices in their heads. I write.

That is the most amazing thing I've ever heard.
Honestly.

But really, Stori: multiple POVs is fun to write. Confusing, yes...but fun. It definitely makes you feel closer to your characters.

Yes, I'd agree. Schizophrenia isn't anything serious. It's natural. Really. I have a voice for every single character that I have ever made up. It gets very noisy and that's part of the reason I stay up every night. Multiple POVs are challenging, and I applaud you. *applause* So, good luck!
There once was a cat.
He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?
Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show!
And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.
