Today I have the honor of standing in for Heather Reid, taking her slot on Hugs & Chocolate, the wonderful writing craft blogging home of six talented writers. In the post I confess to headswerving. If you don’t know what that is, I’m afraid you’ll have to go and see for yourself. I’ll give you a big hint: It has to do with multiple POVs, a subject near and dear to my heart. I’m not quite the writing equivalent of Lon Chaney (or Sybil), but there are a quite a few characters running around in the ole noggin. Are you scared yet? Head over to my post for the frightening truth.
Love this picture! And multiple POVs, for me, has been quite the challenge to give everyone equal time and intensity and depth. I’ll check out your guest post!

I’ll admit, it’s still a challenge for me. Some characters spring to life for me, and others are a struggle. But I’ve always been prone to try! Thanks! 🙂

Hey D! I was thinking of an image of a multi-headed deity, like Brahma, but this caught my eye. Hope you enjoy the post! Thanks for popping in here! 🙂

*high fives* I’m a compulsive headswerver too. (Love the term, btw.) The thought of staying in only one person’s head throughout an *entire* novel really gives me shivers (although I might have to do that at one point). I want to dive into a bunch of different pools, not just swim in one big ocean. Great post, Vaughn!

Hurray, another headswerver! It does seem inordinately restrictive, keeping to one head through an entire novel, doesn’t it? 😉 Thanks for weighing in, Margaret!
