I remember first starting Hold On about two summers ago, and some of my friends would read it. One mentioned that I should've done multiple points of view. I mean, there were five main characters, it was almost the perfect set up. When she told me this though, I was on chapter 8 or so, and it was too late.
Upon starting Find Me, I decided to do the multiple points of view thing. Now, looking back on it, I don't totally regret it. But I don't know why I thought going from first person to four different points of view was smart. And if there is going to be a third story/book/whatever, where do I go from here? I really wish I would've just done Skye and Dillon or Marcus or Olivia...two characters instead of just four. Then, I could've done all of them for the final installment.
Also, I don't think I do the multiple points of view thing very well. Yes, it does give the reader an insight about the other character's thoughts and what they're doing when the others aren't around. However, I wanted to write each person's in a slightly different style, which didn't really work out. You could basically interchange the points of view and there wouldn't be a difference...well, except for the fact that the things they say and do distinguish them.
So yeah, that's about it. It was just a reflective thought I had, and I decided to post about it because I was productive and actually finished my homework early. :)
By for now,

By the way, just thought I'd mention that this is my lucky 71st post. :D
