I am planing a short story where each paragraph is written from a different point of view (POV). All together I came up with 11;[i] first- singular, first plural, first peripheral, first- unreliable, second, third-limited, third-objective, third-omniscient, third story teller, epistolary and a newspaper article.
I would also like to play around with tenses.
So far I only have only a vague story outline and characters. There is a witch who can far scry and look though animals eyes and read their minds. Additionally there is a thinking cat who is her familiar. I want to use them to make the story reflect the writing style and to use the line “meow! You’re inside my head again watching yourself” as that is what inspired it.
The witch (called Rebecca for the moment) aims to become master of ceremonies for the upcoming equinox. The cat and familiars of the other witches are fed up of the witches taking advantage of them via scrying and mind probing. They along with some of the younger witches are planing sabotage of the equinox some how.
At the moment I am not satisfied with the plot and would love some advice/ideas on how to make the switching tenses and POVs thing work. Currently I am planing on starting each paragraph with a title indicating what I am writing in.
Thankyou everyone for their feedback, this idea due to lack of time and better ideas surfacing is likely to be scrapped. If I ever do play with POV/tenses I will keep it simpler and not use this story out line. Thanks again
