Commentary = view-points
I originally wrote this manuscript in third person omniscient. I think that Sapphira’s character reads much better from her 1st person perspective but as I read through Thomas’ thoughts that came through in the third person format, I am wishing I could add that in.
Being that we live in a so-called “post modern world” where published writers don’t use punctuation or write a hundred page book in one paragraph, I have decided to add a second layer to the book. I will add back in Thomas’ mental view-point by writing in chapters from his 1st person perspective when I feel it is appropriate.
I still plan to keep the majority of the book from Sapphira’s perspective, but I think Thomas needs to get his thoughts out there too.
This means I might republish chapters in a new format (aka – chapter four may become chapter five) so that I can have chapters just for Thomas. I have skipped over all my writing from his perspective and now in order for the chapters to be in order, I will delete and republish them all so that they fit correctly and are in true order.
