Well, she did say, "Learn when to break the rules."

One the things my novel writing teacher emphasized at the first class last week was to limit the number of POV charactesr, less the author confuse both themselves and the readers.

Just for giggles, I'm going to try and count the number of POV's in my latest Terinu fanfic...

Terinu/alt-Terinu
Leeza/Captain Blake
Matt/alt-Matt
Rufus/alt-Rufus
Lance
alt-Mavra

Okay, only nine. In a fic that's maybe sixty pages long right now. Whoops...

I count ten there. (Sorry, but you know me....)

Whoops again. I should add three more just to make it a Baker's Dozen.

Yeah, ten.

Really, 60 pages?

Huh. It doesn't seem so long when you read it in bits :-D (Yeah, I'm sure that's encouraging to hear!)
