How to Write a Closer (or more Distant!) Point of View

2/25/2021

0 Comments

 
If you've ever wondered how to write a closer (or more distant) point of view in third person, watch this short video. The video is fifteen minutes long. It gives a detailed explanation of subjective and objective point of views and how to implement them in your writing to create the story you want the reader to experience.

Why does it matter?

I read a fabulous MG book (The Miraculous by Jess Redman), and I wondered about the point of view. I felt like I was close to the story as I was reading (due to the limited point of view), hearing and knowing only Wunder's (the protagonist) thoughts, but at the same time, Wunder wasn't the narrator. And I was curious how the author was able to achieve this.

Here's an explanation of the POV from a document on the author's website: This story is written from a third-person limited point of view. Wunder does not narrate the story, but we only hear his thoughts. We only know what Wunder knows. 

​Watching the following video helped me understand this POV better (close-but-distant narrator), so I can do the same with my own writing and help my clients accomplish this too.

HOW LONG SHOULD CHAPTERS BE?

I’ve heard this question many times. At the beginning of my writing journey, over a decade ago, I had the same question. "How long should my chapter be?" One answer was given over and over: There isn’t one way to write a chapter, and your chapter should be as long or as short as it needs to be.

IS GRAMMARLY PREMIUM WORTH IT? (2020 REVIEW)

​I’ve used the free version of Grammarly for years, but I didn't upgrade to Grammarly Premium until recently. In short, the premium version is completely worth it—if you plan to use Grammarly regularly. Which means for me, it’s invaluable. Is it always correct? No. But the editing tool is my “second opinion” for polished material. And here’s why.
