| May 2, 2014 at 21:01 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | Mixing voices is hard to do well. I would recommend a third person view for anything epic. Think Harry Turtledove. | |
| May 2, 2014 at 14:24 | comment | added | James | I guess I want to make the characters the story driver, but I don't want the world to get lost in that narrowed focus/perspective. They seem at odds currently... | |
| May 2, 2014 at 14:23 | comment | added | James | Well I plan it to be an epic. Multiple stories intertwined, a new universe in my head (hence the interest in the world building proposal) in the end multiple books. I have back stories written and basically a timeline from the beginning of creation. I think for the first book it will follow two, maybe three main characters. There is plenty of story available probably more than I need, and I do probably need to focus more on making the characters feel real. Is there a way to mix voices effectively? Could you do entire chapters in one or the other? I've always considered that bad... | |
