The book I'm currently working on is a bit of a risk and an experiment for me. First of all . . . I'll just cut to the chase here. One of the challenges it poses is it's odd POV. I'm not usually a first-person type of gal, but I decided to mix things up and see how it goes. The story is narrated by six people, each with their own pages of first person, looking back on their childhood to tell the story. Think To Kill a Mockingbird, how it's Scout's older self telling the story of her younger self. The problem is, the narration keeps on slipping into my voice rather than the character's! The characters themselves still act the same, but it reads like I'm the one telling the story. I may as well tell it in third person. This isn't what I had in mind.
Any tips on how to make the narrator's voice come through?
