Writing from the middle As a slight variation on this, you could start off with writing the key scenes first as a reference. FWIW I tend to start with them because they're what gets me excited enough to get onto my not-so-interesting lead-up scenes, then go back to the beginning and write everything from start to finish with those scenes in mind. Yes, the key scenes get rewritten in the process and they can change drastically. |

How do I change a novel from first person to limited third person? Oooh, yeah, definitely not. The change in POVs happen by chapter. :) |

How do I change a novel from first person to limited third person? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was common to switch viewpoints in third person? Especially when using limited, which is pretty much the norm these days. |

Is it a bad idea to vary the voice of the narrator in third person (limited omniscient)? I'm with Lauren on this. It sounds brilliant. |

alternatives to “he said” in dialog That's true, you definitely need to mix it up. I've edited my answer with an additional example to show how you can vary it. :) |
