I’m trying to write my first novel and I have come across an issue which I feel like it could change the whole story/flow. Originally it wouldn’t have mattered if I wrote in the third person but I then came across other challenges and just decided to stick with first. My question (sorry if it doesn’t make sense) is this: I am writing my novel in the first person through the main character. I wanted to include another characters perspective who is the villan, like a small section of their evil plan. But I don’t know how I would write that if it is through my main character life. So basically it would mean switching from one scene in one chapter eg. School to a new scene in a different chapter eg. Cave Also how would people understand if it’s the main characters story but somehow another person was able to write in it? If anyone could help me out. It would be appreciated. Many thanks, Stephanie
