OMG THAT'S ACTUALLY GENIUS!
i write in 3rd person pov too and i get what you say about the inner monologues!
i actually ended up writing (like five minutes ago) a whole chapter dedicated to one of my main characters inner thoughts and feelings bc i never got to explain them in the chapters prior to the one i just wrote!!
@scarriewhite so I write in 3rd person pov and sometimes I struggle to write inner monologues that way because I feel like it doesn’t make sense sometimes, and somebody told me to write in 1st person pov first and edit it into 3rd person pov. It’s been so helpful!
