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.

IMO, it's a bit misunderstood, like Show Don't Tell™. Here's my take: real HeadHopping™ isn't 3rd Omniscient like Dune, it is accidental and/or Omniscience being injected on purpose in such a sporadic way that it jars the reader. If you write in Third Intimate, say, GRRM in ASoIaF and you are...

The Name of the Wind is framed for a third person/first person as I recall. Without details I don't know what you're actually doing. I think name of the Wind sucks, but not because of the frame and POV.

This totally depends on the frame. In my upcoming War of Seven Lies, some chapters will be written blending 1st, 2d, and 3rd, along with past and present tense. Obviously, this requires a particular frame and understanding of what is going on, but I'd say everything can work, the question is...

If it works as a traditional grammar/spelling checker, which most of these really are, then no issue to me. I allow nothing beyond hard corrections in Prowriting Aid, which I bought a lifetime membership way back when it was $50. If it's making editor-like suggestions, rewriting sentences, etc...

I don't bother worrying about whether people will pronoucce the words right, because I know many won't. And that's cool. I give pronunciation for the hard cores who dig that sort of thing, but I've met many a reader who starts talking about the books and we just have to work our way around it...

I haven't actually used it in text, and I don't really know if I will, but there would certainly be instructions for clicks if I go that direction... including don't bother if you don't want to, LMAO. I might also just use it for the "ancient" version of the language. I developed it mostly due...
