I agree. I always recommend that writers use a proper transition when they want to swap heads. That said, we can definitely do whatever we want in our fiction, especially in these days of self-publishing. But when we do, we need to be aware of the possible consequences. Most readers, myself included, do find it jarring and confusing when writers head-hop. Thanks for the comment 🙂

Thanks, Tim 🙂 My hope is always that my post will reach someone at just the right time.

These tips are for writing in a limited point of view (first or third). I think omniscient is still a valid point of view, but it's also tougher to execute well than most writers realize. I suspect that's part of the reason it's "out of fashion."

Those are great ways to deal with one of the toughest challenges for a limited POV. Thanks for sharing!

Joanne, you can just do a lead in, then copy and paste the URL. Or say, .... the blog is here <- and put a link under 'here'.

I find it challenging to describe what my heroine is wearing when I'm in her PoV. I can't have her standing in front of a mirror all the time! So I usually go for "Her too tight skirt was more proof that she needed to cut down on those late snacks in front of the TV", or "Why did she have to wear heels when she knew her day would be endless? She blocked the idea that, on some level, she'd done it for Markos' benefit before it fully formed."

Yes, I write romances... 🙂
