I used breaking and reading bones with symbols and a lot of uncertainty and interpretation... and cheating. A prepared bone is carved with symbols and whatnot, and a hot steel needle is driven into the bones by the oracle to form the cracks that are read. A technique called "smoothing the bone"...

Those programs will pull up every piece of dialogue from a single character in a 250k word novel? AI isn't perfect at it, but it's quite good. Scrivener CAN do it, but yikes, what a pain in the ass. It isn't so much whether there are no AI tools (and how long before AI is involved?) that work...

Welcome aboard.

Your interpretation of grammar is off. You can correct grammar with AI without changing your voice, unless your voice uses incorrect grammar, which, as a whole, would be bad unless you're working, maybe, on something like A Clockwork Orange... and then, with AI, you can have it stop checking...

Third Om can be so many styles. Tolkien is fairly casual, Herbert is in your face. Dickens is one of the all-time greats for 3rd Om IMO.

It certainly became a sticky saying after one tragic event.

I don't have a method; I've been lucid dreaming since I was about 5, best I can recall. The trick is not taking control all the time, as it's exhausting.

Welcome aboard! Drink the Kool-Aid, but boil it first.

Agreed. Either go full on Omniscient or stick to Limited.

I don't do google links. Just post a snippet or email it to me for a brief review. My gut tells me: If you are in classical 3rd Om narrative mode, you're better off than if trying to write in a more modern Limited 3rd and trying to stretch the POV.

It's a pejorative for a reason, as it isn't simply switching POV. It's an error in switching POV.

It's one of those things, it's hard to tell if it's working without seeing it.

It's hard as hell to catch sometimes, most risky for me when writing one POV with another POV character in the scene, LMAO. That feels natural.

I'm not even sure what you mean... you can pack years into a sentence or pages into a few moments. The example sentence seems fairly normal to me without context or comparison.

That would be why I don't watch videos unless it's for a repair on something, LMAO. It stymies my brain how much time people waste on the damned things.
