Writing 101: Point of View in Writing

Posted on 03/12/202305/10/2024 By Anne Winchell No Comments on Writing 101: Point of View in Writing
Blog

One of my absolute favorite aspects of writing is Point of View (POV), and I love teaching it in a variety of ways. On the Stellima blog, I have a detailed and comprehensive explanation of the various options, and I walk through a brief scene involving my cat Lily to demonstrate how the different POVs can change the meaning and give you different options. From first, second, or third person, close to distant to omniscient, all of the options are covered along with demonstrations and an analysis of why you would want to use them… and why you wouldn’t. If this is something you struggle with or if people have commented that you have POV slips (a very common error), I try to help figure out what’s wrong and get you back on the right track!
