I have two POV in first in one novel and there are scenes that overlap. What a great to add more without getting boring.

I love rabbity too.

Give them a flash of awe, a glimpse of horror, and their minds will fill in the blanks with what touches them most.

You did a fine job of teaching the art of description. Thanks for visiting my blog and following. It meant a lot. Roland

Too much and it gets boring and purply. Too little, and the scene is flat.

I personally have trouble with the voice consistency. Somewhere in my mind, I think ‘description’ and slip into narrator mode. Must be all the omniscient books I read growing up. So I’ll be working on that.
