Head-Hopping

What is head-hopping? It's not the same a omniscient point of view, but head-hopping is when you're reading the story through the eyes of one character. Then from there you shift to another POV in the same paragraph or scene with no indication of a change. I've been advised to keep the POV consistent with one character for an entire chapter, but I have been know to bounce back and forth between my main characters. There will either be a parapgraph break in spacing, or I'll change the POV in the next scene with a symbols, such as hashtags or four asterisks. The bottom line is the less you confuse a reader, the better. Not only do you want your story to be polished, you want it to be clear. There's a difference between raising questions for your plot and posing questions because your readers are lost. Until the next tip!😃

Beta Readers for Match-Made Christmas

I am currently looking for beta readers for Match-Made Christmas ! Sign up will be open from now until April 2nd. I've recently discovered a website  https://betareader.io/ which is still in the beginning stages of helping authors find beta readers before officially launching their books! I decided to try it to see how I like it! This is my first time working with beta readers so it's definitely a learning experience for me. I'll let you know my results with it and was it helpful for me. Sometimes it's trial and error with some things as we learn the industry, but you'll never know unless you try. If you're interested in being a beta reader for me, click the link below to sign up. Thanks so much! https://read.betareader.io/discover/5c87e6f6bc25b8002d617816
