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

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...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

By
Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

By
This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
