Re: How do you pin down your POV?

[slightlytookish]

Usually a POV just seems right, but there have been a few times that I started writing from one POV, found it wasn't working, switched to the other POV and it was much better. So I guess I'd say trial and error, which isn't very helpful :D

In one fic for another fandom, I knew from the beginning that I wanted to use the POVs of both main characters, so each section changed POV (and I gave each section its own chapter for clarity). Maybe alternating POVs would work for your fic too?

I'm with Tookish on this. Sometimes changing POV is what does the trick. Personally I'm a big fan of alternating POVs.

Trial and error is basically what I'm foreseeing, lol. ;P

Alternating POVs is definitely another option, as you and arwen88 have said. I always get weird with alternating POVs, though. Like I get super caught up in whether it's balanced between the two perspectives, so idk. Plus it's harder for me to maintain a consistent character voice when jumping back and forth like that, but who knows! Maybe I'll try it and that will totally solve the problem, lol.
