What POV do you enjoy reading/writing in books?

By Anonymous
I've been reading--shocking I'm sure--a lot of e-books lately. Not just for pleasure, or reviewing, but also for education.

I like to see what other authors write like, how they do their words, and the point-of-views that they write from. See how they do it, learn the process, better my craft, and also to see what is most popular in each genre, and all the books written, in general.

It led me to google it. Crazy, right?



I found this great conversation going on about it and I was curious about what you thought? You don't have to read the article, but just answer a few questions like:

What are the POV's that you enjoy reading?
          Do you like the narrator voice from each character throughout the books, in chapters, in entire books?  
          Do you like only one character's view the entire book?
          Do you like first person?
          Do you want to know what all the character sees and feels during the scenes?
          Do you like the narrator to know everything and show it to you? Or....
          Do you prefer the narrator to be a little less knowledgeable?

What about writing? Which POV do you enjoy writing from?
         Which is most comfortable for you to write from?
         Which is the one you like to use most?
         Do you change your POV in each book?
                    Depending on the book genre, will you change it?



Should be a great conversation helper. :)

    You know? I was originally writing my story in first-person narrative and after reading this story, I'm now thinking about changing it to third-person narrative. I still want to keep it focused on the main character, but I also want the audience to get to know the other characters somewhat better as well. I have a lot of fixing up to do...

      The Into The Night and I published it through Amazon already. Oops! Oh well. I had a dream of how I would like the second book to be and it won't coincide with the story of the main character telling it. Then I have one that's been in the works for YEARS now and I made that first person as well...I'm going to be changing my tune LOL

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c
