Chapter 20 - The Update!

There are 2 parts to this update:

First I want to mention something interesting I learned about San Nicolas Island. This is the place that Emily, Zach, Lizzie, Zane, Monica, Mady, Ty and everyone live on. I want to make it clear that I don't live on San Nicolas Island and I just choose this place because it seemed to be the perfect spot to start the novel's setting in. So I don't know everything about the Island because I don't need to know many things about it for the novel. I only know it's location and a few other things I looked up and found on Google.

The interesting thing I just learned, I read about in a book. The book is called "Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell. This is a book I've read a few times but I read the full Author's Note for the first time today. The Author says that a Spanish Explorer had found the "Island of the Blue Dolphins" and named it "La Isla de San Nicolas. Which, if you can't figure it out, it means the Isle (or Island) of San Nicolas. The Author also mentions that this was originally an Island that Indians lived on and there was an indian girl who lived their alone from 1835 to 1853. That girl was what the book was based about. So I learned an interesting fact about the Island's history today.

The second thing I want to say today is that I'm thinking of changing the way the novel is set up, like the format. Right now chapters are in different Point Of Views, but I'm thinking that it might be easier for me, and might be easier and better for you guys to understand what's happening, if I change it so the story is being told in third person POV. This way during a chapter you can read about both main characters POV.

For an Example, I wouldn't say a POV at the beginning of a chapter and I wouldn't use words; I, me, we, or us in the novel. But I might still do a chapter in a POV every once in a while because it fits the story better.

I want to know what you guys think. Comment at on this chapter and tell me if you want POV's still or if you want to try third person view. I don't want to post more chapters until I know what you guys think so be sure to comment please. If it's been a few days and no one has told me their opinions I will post a chapter in third person so you know what I mean, but before I continue the book I want to hear your opinions.
