: Re: Am I Breaking Too Many Rules? I've finally committed to writing my first novel. I've been listening to things like Writing Excuses which encourages first time writers to finish their works, but

If the POVs seem balanced (rotating one per chapter or in some other predictable pattern), then it's not breaking any rule.

For length -- the projected draft is 225k -- maybe the actual draft won't be that long. You'll never know until you try!

Once you have that draft, if it is too long, then you can cut it as needed. Pull some out for side stories! Maybe you'll realize that you don't need one of the POVs.

You won't know until you get the thing done.
