A sanctuary for weary writers, inky wretches, and aspiring professional novelists. |
As others have said, both would be from Chance's perspective. Limited 3rd is where the majority of the paragraph, chapter or book is narrated, but with a focus on a particular character's senses. You see what he or she does, notice what she or he does, and have access to the knowledge of that character. That's it. So long as you don't ever switch in the same section, you'll be fine. The whole point of 3rd person POV is that you, the author, are the narrator, telling a story. So yeah, what you did in the last paragraph, the 'extra voice', is a part of that. 3rd limited is the exact same, only you're limiting the information you give the reader, based on one character's perception. I prefer chapters set in one POV, but, as Lori said, you can switch partway through, so long as you seperate the two with a full carriage return (think, enter two or three times), with a ***** or with a few ------. Just something to let us know that a switch is occuring. Also, using these methods, you'd have to mention the character you're now 'following' pretty quickly, just to let people know who it is they're supposed to be following now. "There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are." - W. Somerset Maugham
