Rui Santos asked Russell Forden:

What are you working on at the moment Russell? Do you focus on one writing project at a time or do you prefer/need to work on various writing projects at the same time?

Russell Forden It's pretty much one at a time. I'm presently working on the final touches of my novel Eye of the Timegate. I just did a pass where I cut out some instances of 'head hopping'. I tend to do that a lot with this novel, since it's written in third person omnipotent point of view, and I love using it. But the writing books say you should keep to just one character per chapter. I don't agree with that (rules are meant to be broken some times) but I thought it would be helpful to compromise for the sake of those pesky readers who get annoyed with too much head hopping. I hope they, in turn, are willing to meet me halfway. Thanks for the questions.
