Writing Challenge: POV

Since it has been a while since I have got out a writing challenge, here's a challenge for you. Try changing your point of view. If you like to write from third person try omnipotent or first person points of view.

It is good to stretch out every once in a while and try a new point of view, since it keeps you from sinking into a rut that has you feeling tired of writing. Give yourself a challenge and see if you can stick with it.

I like to have the ability to let all of the characters have a say in the story, which makes it hard when I do like I am now and try to write a story from a single point of view. I'm trying that with Heir to Magic and Shadowlord's Gambit, although I have decided they are too expansive to cover from just one character so I will be switching back to multiple viewpoints on them.

I have another idea that I'm not ready at the moment to talk too much about that is perfect for just one character's POV. That one is going to start out from just the lead character's POV and stay there.
