How do people feel about changing perspectives? Like I can't really tell the story I'm writing by sticking with First Person. I don't feel all too great by switching suddenly to Third Person for a chapter.
@Andrew Knight, I know I get irked by them as well when I read stuff like that but now I feel like I have to write it. The character in focus is generally making her way throughout the story while having to retrieve the memories she has forgotten. But at the same time, I want to also tell the story of other characters around her which can directly affect the movement of her story. Like there are things she doesn't know yet, and I want the readers to first know about it while the character herself is not aware of some information.
@Alef Magnus, that makes perfect sense, I was assuming that the purpose was to reveal new information that the character didn't know yet--that's the great advantage of third over first. I would suggest you discover a way to reveal the information without having the character witness it (i.e. news report, overhearing a conversation) but it sounds like your purpose is more geared toward the other characters who aren't the narrator... have you tried doing a third person chapter as a shift from the narrator's focus? I don't know how well that would work, but the shift wouldn't be permanent, just switching back and forth every time it suits your need. Is it possible for your audience to gain the info while the character is dreaming? Are out-of-body experiences out of the question? I think this problem requires some classic "outside the box" thinking
I don't know if that makes sense.
