Hi! Thanks for reading my post and responding.

I couldn’t agree more with you. A (well written) omniscient is a piece of art. I’m not even close to the skill level that is needed to pull that off. When there is an all-knowing narrator you can, and should dip into the character’s heads. And if it is well written it will also vary the depths of each character.

My book was /is written in limited, and the editor responded to my manuscript. I may have been unclear about that, and if so, I apologize.

When it comes to the third-person limited and first-person viewpoints, jumping between viewpoints in-scene is a big No-No for me. I know there is some literature written in limited that jumps between viewpoints in scenes, even mid-sentence, but I will stand by my recommendation to avoid it until Dovregubben falls (Dovregubben is a Norwegian mountain)

Again, thanks for reading! :)
