Hi everyone 🙂 I know, long time no blogging, but I’ve been fairly busy with all sorts of things, including working at getting book one into paperback. I’m at the formatting stage right now, and I need your opinions on something! Below are two pictures, one with point of view change indicators, and one without. What I need to know is which would you prefer to see? Would you find the change indicators too distracting? Or, do they make it an easier read? Take your time, mull it over *grin* and let me know here or on the BirthRight Trilogy facebook page!
This is a screenshot showing the POV indicators
And this screenshot is without them
I think I'd prefer the indicators. When I'm reading and there's a sudden POV change without notice it will throw me out of the story. Plus, it looks pretty. =)
WITH indicators. 🙂 Way better. 😀
I prefer indicators for POV shifts when the POV lasts more than a few paragraphs. What you have here is almost annoying. Indicators should not be used when you're head-hopping, and this looks a lot like head-hopping.
Definitely prefer the POV shift indicators. I get lost without them.
