a quick writing question
by Kritter Author IconMail Icon
My novel is told in two perspectives (February and Josh) in the third person. In one scene I introduce a character to Josh that is already familiar to the reader through his interactions with February. My question is, do I use the character's name when describing him - as the reader already knows who he is - or don't I - as Josh doesn't know him?

Any insights?
