This week I’ve been going on with The Tale of the Drakanox. Duessa’s POV sections and Ar-Lizelle’s POV sections are racing toward a collision. This is one of the things I like best about having more than one POV, and having those characters be on opposite sides. Both characters know trouble is coming, but as a reader, you can really see them going opposite directions in the same lane of traffic.
Ar-Lizelle is pretty intent on recapturing Duessa’s team. Duessa’s team is practicing new strategies as they prepare for trouble. Potentially a lot of characters are involved here. I need to choose who gets featured. I also need to choose whether everyone will make it out of the confrontation. I’m still getting my head around all that.
This is nothing new to me. I always dither a bit at this point in a story. I know I’ll find my way through it. Onward!
Have you read one of my books? Then it would be great for you to leave a review! Meanwhile, if you’d like to learn more about me and my work, check out my website, Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter.
I very much like that you’re showing the point of view of characters who are in opposition to each other. I never have been much of a fan of the “good guy-bad guy” division, not even when I was in elementary school.
Especially as America is now in a period of political extremism, it’s good to have something that isn’t! People forget, or don’t realize, that the followers of an extremist who harms people are often deceived or in fear or both. They are often victims themselves.
