Writing Rules

1. I will never forget when my first real editor told me that when I become as popular and make as much money as Nora, I can head-hop. Love Nora! I do still catch myself sometimes.

2. It can be hard not to head-hop, especially since I usually have so many characters.
   The thing that helped me most was the self-discipline I had to muster the first time I wrote in first person. Good golly Miss Molly — that was hard to get used to. 😉
   Hugs.

   1. I’m doing my first first person (that’s a mouthful!) now, and you’re right, it’s hard!

3. I’ve never been much of a head-hopper and it annoys me when I see it in novels. If you write in Scrivener, you can give every POV character a different color and while you’re writing, at a glance, you can see whose POV you should be in. (I usually give my heroine pink, my hero blue, and my villain grey. But you can do anything.) Makes it a lot easier.
