Hi folks!
Thanks to you and some friends of mine, I've reached a good starting point for my saga and I'm in the process of the 1st Draft (50.000 words - 1/4 of the story).
I've had an idea and I wanted to hear your opinions about it.
Let's say I'm writing in "third-limited'', but with a moltitude of POVs, even "1-shot characters", but still deep and detailed.
Anyway, the thing is: What if I divide chapters by "location" and do some head hopping within a chapter using chapter breaks (I don't like head-hopping in between paragraphs)? That's basically what I do right now: I always describe something starting in a location (or duringa specific travel), but I stick to the character whose the chapter-title is referring to...
The idea is not to present a chapter by "character" (let's say: JAIME or PERRIN), but by location (let's say WINTERFELL or KING'S LANDING) and then write down what happens there using different perspectives, ONLY WHEN REALLY NEEDED (so to say, I'm not going to split chapters in 100 parts just to head-hopp).
What do you think?§
Thanks
M.
