My POV character has been seriously injured and is bedridden for three months. But life stops for no one. In fact, a major epic battle is brewing and to delay it would be unrealistic. If anything, the enemy would surely seek to strike while the hero has been forced onto the sidelines. I've already written the huge battle... and it's epic. But I can't figure out that to do with it. Do I delete the scene and replace it with how the POV character hears the news after the fact? But three months of doing nothing is really boring. Or, do I keep the scene but switch to a new POV character for just one scene? (Would it be confusing to have a secondary POV character for only one scene?)
