"From a purely technical point of view, some people add the name of the pov character at the beginning of the chapter, for absolute clarity.  However I'm not sure how this would work if there's only one chapter in this alternative…"

>I'll have to work out what time the chats are for me, but as long as they're not in the middle of the night, I'll try to drop in

I think they are evening -- part of the reason we picked early afternoon EST. :-)

We're delighted to have you join us in the novelist group, Margaret – please accept my belated welcome (I’ve been finishing a novel on deadline, and traveling to boot). If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion. We do a live chat the first Wednesdays of each month at 1 EST, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one. I hope you’ll enjoy the group.
