just a question, is there a particular punctuation sign that you use to show the change from 1st to 3rd person aside from paragraphing? would you use ***?

That's the idea

Use *** then write in the appropriate manner

I dont really think you can change perspective within a paragraph. :S

I'd change perspectives when go from one chapter to another, or if its an omnipresent voice, you can look into thoughts of characters while maintaining the omnipresent stance.

I used the asterisks everytime I jumped in the timeline, or changed perspectives or tense.
