Description

Have you committed this literary sin? 

Head hopping, or jumping from one POV to another in the same paragraph, scene, or chapter, can throw readers off as to who's really telling the story. 

This can pull a reader out of the narrative, and a confused reader is more likely to close the book!

This, our first installment of the Literary Sins Series, addresses what head hopping is, how to spot it, and how to avoid it.
