The Writers Circle is an open door opportunity to meet Alida over Zoom and ask your writing question. Based on the idea of a professors’ office hours – a time when anyone working with them or curious about meeting them or discussing something in their field of expertise could drop in, say hello, and receive guidance, even an answer – Alida offers an office hour called the Writers Circle.
If you have a writing question, are curious about Alida, or want to see what’s happening and benefit from others’ questions, stop in, say hello, ask away.
Do you need a dual POV in a romance novel? How do you distinguish between the POV’s? And how important is that internal journey in these stories? We talk about the struggles of writing an intimate internal journey from a point of view different from your own, and even get a laugh talking feelings with Robert.
How do you keep readers from skipping point of view chapters? What if you have to cut a point of view out of your story? And how do you switch from your narrator to your character’s point of view? This week we take some time to answer some questions that have popped up in our Facebook group. If you have a question, make sure to join us there and ask away!
How do you know if you’ve picked the right POV? Where is the balance between narrative and dialogue? And how do you handle POV switches in a multiple POV story? Alida answers all these and more in this Q&A session.
What is narrative? And why should we care about it? How should you approach your narrative, narrator, and narrative exposition? How does narrative help with mood? And how does voice fit into this conversation? We discuss how the depth of your narrative and voice changes your reader’s experience, no matter the genre!
