I also prefer writing in close 3rd person POV.<br /><br />What you may not have known is how generous Dianne is with what little spare time she has. She beta read my novel when I was struggling with plot holes, and she made the perfect suggestions for fixing the problems. <br /><br />Please don't include me in your giveaway, Natalie. I have a signed hardcover of this wonderful book!<br /><br />Joanne R.

I always feel like I'm right there on the conversation with a couple of friends at a coffee shop.<br /><br />Dianne - Wow! Finding those caged graves and then imagining a story from there sounds like an exciting writing journey. I have to admit I'm not a huge "scary book" reader, but this story sounds fascinating. I'm going to add it to my goodreads "want to read" list. <br /><br />Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-12830770716060672752013-06-11T08:36:01.381-04:002013-06-11T08:36:01.381-04:00This sounds like an amazing book!

I didn't mention that when I got that R&R about changing POV, I cried for a week and couldn't sleep at night. I thought I would be losing the character's voice, practically killing her!<br /><br />I didn't. Close third person POV contains VOICE too. But instead of having the MC talk directly to you, it's like you're listening in telepathically. That's the best I can describe it.Dianne K.

Thanks for the amazing shout-out and ...Hi Natalie,<br /><br />Thanks for the amazing shout-out and for being part of our celebration! You and Casey have been such a huge influence in the online writing community, and I'm not in the least surprised to hear you suggest that authors reach out online. I can't think of anyone who reaches out to support others more than you do. <br /><br />I loved the interview. Third person close POV is a favorite of mine, and I see the same kind of misconceptions about it quite often in the First Five Pages workshops. Dianne did a great job explaining it and, hopefully, adding it to the toolbox for a lot of writers through this post. Her movie and TV news is awesome too!<br /><br />Martina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-4527777746363701302013-06-10T14:25:17.497-04:002013-06-10T14:25:17.497-04:00Thanks for the interview and giveaway!
