Well, even though I wasn’t a finalist with Demon Storm (that’s the new title), I’m going to keep plugging away on it.  Though I might change the pov from first to third.  I know that first tends to be the predominant trend in urban fantasy and I feel like I have a pretty good voice for first person, but there’s a lot of people out there that just don’t like it.  Plus, it opens up the ability to see things that the heroine doesn’t.  Though I did just read a book that switched back and forth between first and third (first was for the heroine and then third for all the other scenes, though the author stayed primarily in the hero’s pov in those sections).

I’m also a big fan of how Kristine Kathryn Rusch writes her Retrieval Artist series — each chapter is from a different character’s pov (typically she has 3 povs in the story) including the MC throughout the series, and then eventually the three tracks of the story converge into one.  But with having each chapter seen through the eyes of someone different, you avoid the issue of head-hopping.

Definitely different techniques to ponder as I continue on…
