Okay...so there I was, driving along the newly discovered road of outlines, well on my way to my destination, when—BAM! There—around a wide curve, was a major POV pile-up. Ugh. Road work in progress. I chose to take an alternative route. Attempting to make a quick u-turn, I made a sharp left, swerved, side-swiped a guard rail, and drove off a cliff…
Now, don’t fret. While sailing through the fresh mountain air, my mind recharged, and I came up with a new idea. I decided to do a little maintenance on my old-faithful vehicle, and created a new, (yet somewhat uncomfortable) novel mode of transportation. In my semi-thought-out dually (2 POVs) with brand new shiny wings, I soared above the potholes and road blocks. Well…in my mind anyway.
Changing things around can be fun, right? You know… Starting over? Exploring new lands and new ideas? Trashing an almost complete outline, for a new one? Trying something I’ve never done before? Two POVs can be fun, right? Right? RIGHT? Come on—back me on this. I’m soaring through the freakin’ air with untested wings!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Hey, did you forget your GPS device? Listen, Nic, two POV's work all the time.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about having to scrap something and start over, but guess what? Oh, you cannot guess right now because of the sailing through the air issue? Let me tell you then. Scrapping is a good thing. Every time it leads to a better outline/manuscript.
What? You didn't hear me? Turn down that static on your radio! You know there is no reception in the mountains anyway.
When you land, trade in that vehicle. It didn't have the right passengers. Hop in a convertible, pick up with two different POV's, and see your story through their eyes. Why a convertible? So you can have the wind blow through your hair without having to drive off a cliff. :)
Shiny new POV? I like shiny! And I'm a Libra, which means we love seeing everything from as many POV's as possible, lol. JM's right, put the top down and take your newest friends for a ride. You can do this!
