If you do interlacing, how do you do it and how do recommend doing it?
My current story, not very much. I chose First Person Past as my tense, and boy is it a [radio edit]. I break out of it a little bit with short interludes from other POV's--the story is being set up as if the heroine is telling this from journals she kept during the time, memory spells and there are a few things for which she needs other people's input for, because she didn't know what was going on at the time.

In general, when writing from third-person I do interlacing a lot. Generally, starting out which a chapter-ish length per POV at the beginning, then cutting down to either just one POV or more rapid switches closer to the end of the action.
