Hey everyone, welcome back to another week of CloudNovel updates! Sonya hasn't been doing much this week (again) she's been busy helping users with their Fairytale Jam entries. Her update is below if you want to see what she did this week!

Featured Article: How to Decide on POV and How to Switch it Without Confusing Your Readers
There are more than three points of view.
First person (“I am”)
Second person (“you are”)
Third person limited/intimate (“he/she is”)
Third person omniscient/distant (“he/she is”)

While switching points of view is not that common in traditional literature, it’s very effectively used in Visual Novels. Digital: A Love Story addresses the player in second person, though you sort of play it from first person. In Cinders, while the game uses first person in dialogues, the player is not the main character, so it’s a blend of first and third POV.

Visit our blog post to read about all the different POVs yourself! Click below to read the full post: https://blog.cloudnovel.net/2018/05/24/how-to-decide-on-pov-and-how-to-switch-it-without-confusing-your-readers/

Featured Art from Discord

Our talented community of artists are at it again with lots of new art in our #art channel on the official CloudNovel® Discord. These are just a few of the new art pieces created this week by our discord community.

A shoutout to our talented discord users whose art we featured:

Sonya's Twitch Schedule

Hello everyone, last week Sonya couldn't do any streaming (we are so sorry) so this week we are trying the same thing again, and attempting with a 1-day streaming schedule. As for whether or not we will be able to go back to a normal 5 day a week streaming schedule, it looks like we are going to stick with 1-2 days streaming per week. Sonya is trying to get back into the rhythm of a normal sleep schedule, so this might be the best schedule moving forward.

You can look at the full schedule here: https://www.twitch.tv/cloudnovel/schedule

Sonya's Development Update

Here is Sonya's official development update for this week:

Hello everyone, a small bug was fixed for logging out on the website! Other than that, nothing major or new this week, just the same old, same old.

Ciao~
-Sonya

Sonya's Closet Tour

This is our weekly newsletter section showcasing all of Sonya's favorite things from her apartment, new and old. Every week, she will share a few items that she uses in her everyday life, just like a closet or apartment tour!

Robot Cat
Did you know? Sonya has a robot cat that she uses for research and development! Her name is Cinderella, due to her glass blue eyes.
Pink Taser
Recently Sonya bought a pink tazer for self-defence. She calls it her viper!
Pink Knife
Sonya recently bought a pink hunting knife for recreational purposes.

New Resources of the Week

Wow, talk about another crazy amount of art submissions this week! So many people from our community created so much art this past week, it looks like a museum! These are just 8 of them from this week!

End of newsletter

That concludes our first newsletter of September's news updates, from none other than me, the cyber bunny!
