How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

Optimist: the cup is half full
Pessimist: the cup is half empty
Writing workshop leader: well as your classmate said, switching POVs is really a sticky wicket. Aristotle says, in poetics to strive for unity of story. But in the end it's really up to you, as the writer.
