owlMy entry to the Jack ficathon is now, by a conservative estimate, approaching 5000 words, and it keeps sprouting new ramifications and twiddly bits. If I could write concisely I could produce many more stories for the same number of words. This is what happens when I try to introduce plot! Massive great bloated things...
Anyway, I'm starting to type it up now, and I've just realised that I've fallen into a pov trap. I have a character whom Jack dislikes (and vice versa), but although he's snarky and obsessive and not intended to be sympathetic to the reader, he is consistent from his own viewpoint, and understandable to an extent. As I'm writing in tight third-person (Jack's), I find that this hasn't come across at all. A slight re-wriet seems to be in order, but I have no idea how to do it. Has this sort of thing ever happened to you?
We're running out of hours of dial-up this month. It gets renewed at midnight on Saturday 11th (why couldn't it have been one day earlier?), so my time online is a trifle limited. If I don't answer your comments, or comment to your clever and wonderful post, please forgive me.
