What do we think of POV writing?

I guess, thing is, there is craft and there is art. Craft just makes sure its sturdy and can hold up, but Art is what makes it special. If you are crafting a work of art, it does appear seamless, but no one ever see the amount of work that really went into it. They just appreciate the art. If they art you want to make means doing something unconventional, such as hopping between heads, just do it artfully, and make it appear seamless. Hide the craft under the experience.
The more I’m learning and consciously applying craft to the structure of my writing, the more inseparable I think they are. The more I appreciate really well written novels. It’s turned me into a snob. I cannot now read a book that’s shoddily written anymore. I’ll make excuses for some books but only for nostalgic reasons.

Yes, it's certainly a process, but life is too short to waste on bad literature.
