Yes if you are writing in the third person omniscient you have the broadest view in terms of POV - including access to everyone's thoughts and feelings. It is used quite commonly when there is a large cast of characters and many changes in scene. Pax - C

Absolutely. If third person writing is new to you, keep typing away and after a few pages you'll get used to the "style". It's like anything else, you have to hammer away at it for a little bit before you get the feel.
Good luck to you.

You can. It's not that hard. I think it's called third person omniscient. You can write whatever you like: you're the boss

i've got heard some writers swap to a minimum of one/3-omniscient while overlaying something massive like a important conflict, yet I do think of that many first guy or woman fantasy novels do not finally end up that properly simply by fact the narrators are sickeningly whiny or in no way attainable. *stamp foot* "yet father, whyyyyy? I dooon't want to marrry hiiiimmmm!" I screamed. Father became being stupid. i didn't wish this! i want to marry the guy *I* like!I i understand i could have been a touch whiny and annoying, yet nonetheless, it in simple terms WASN'T honest!! -> examine a number of those those days, made me slightly green. And that's incredibly stressful while they insert something quite needless to say showing that she will make the transition from whiny princess to modest, noble princess - there is issues like "i understand i could have been a touch whiny and annoying... and so on." oh, precise, not extraordinarily efficient. I agree that possibly "It became the worst evening of his existence" "He could not have in all likelihood widely used what became coming for him" "Unbeknownst to the cheery boy, a discern in all black became staring at him from the shadows", and so on. could be cool storytelling, despite the fact that it makes you think of, "Wait - wasn't this 0.33 limited from that guy's point of view?" yet i'm in all likelihood scrambling my POVs all of the time, so do not hear to me. ;P Ehhh you are going to rewrite 500 pages? :{ sturdy success with that! :P i might look at your prologue in case you have time.

Literature isnt math. You can do whatever you like, as long as you know what you are doing

If the character has a split personality disorder, then yes.
