Head-hopping.

Merit badge: dashed lines indicate bouncing from head to head

One POV? Two POVs?

Pfft. You can do better.

Make it seven POVs in the same scene. No—the same sentence!

Now that’s how you earn the “head-hopping” merit badge.

Part of the merit badges for writers series. The badge may be posted on your site or blog. Tell us why you’ve earned (or will never earn) it in the comments.

    Wow. This is really embarrassing. I’ve known you for months now, through Tahereh and Twitter, and this is the first time I make it here? I’m ashamed.

    Can you please add followers or Google friend connect or whatever the hell the official name is because I’d love to be reminded to come back …

    I’ve certainly been accused of this by my critique group. Though seven with a scene or sentence is too much, even for me.

    @Matthew: Thanks for stopping by!

    Last time I tried to use it on someone else’s site, Google Friend Connect didn’t like me very much and tried to kick sand in my face. Maybe I can look into it again. Maybe it forgot who I am by now. Dunno.

    In the meantime, there’s always other subscription options.
