I finished the first draft of the main PoV for my current WIP. Now, I need to switch gears and write the other two PoVs - Päivi's and Jarmo's. This will be my first fully multi PoV book and I need to figure out what I'm doing. But, going through an earlier attempt this is the energy I want.

Two paragraphs of text from an early draft of "A Daughter of these Lands". The text reads:
Less than a week ago, everything had been normal.
Then, Toini had come back from the dead, told her she was an internationally wanted terrorist, and asked for a beer. Paivi hadn't really believed it – any of it – but of course she'd give her sister a beer. She hadn't even been sure it was really Toini at first. She'd wanted to believe, but really, who wouldn't have questioned something like that.

Finishing one POV is a huge milestone, especially for your first multi-POV book! I’d definitely be curious to see how all three perspectives work together once the draft is complete. Are you thinking of having beta readers focus on the POV transitions too?

If nothing else, it's an excuse to create a new playlist. I think Päivi is probably a lot of classic heavy metal and a bit of punk rock, but also cheesy pop songs and slow progressive rock. But, also, starting with: youtu.be/Iry_QLgThtU
