Happy Saturday!
Some of you may recall that I was trying to decide between writing a sequel to my first novel or starting something altogether different. I went back and forth for a while but decided to write the sequel; the story has just been brewing in my head and I can't stop thinking about it, plus the reader feedback from my first novel has been amazing (with many asking for a sequel), so it was the natural choice.
My first novel was entirely written in the third person. I've started writing the sequel in both 1st and 3rd person -- the POV of one main character is told in first, while the rest are in third, and it only switches with new chapters.
Two questions:
1. Does anyone have objections to reading a book that has both 1st and 3rd?
2. Can anyone name other books that use this technique, both successfully and poorly, so I can have a look?
I'm going fishing for a few hours so talk amongst yourselves until I return.
Thanks!
