Essential Writing Quote





"Deep POV eliminates narrative distance. Readers will feel like there is nothing between them and what is happening to the Point of View Character. In Deep POV, we don’t want thoughts or actions told or explained by a third party; we want to live the events inside the Point of View Character's head. The narrative should read like the thoughts going through the character’s mind but without the need to italicize as in direct thought quotations.”

Nelson, Jill Elizabeth  (2012-03-28).Rivet Your Readers with Deep Point of View (p. 17).  . Kindle Edition.

Essential Writing Quote


 
“POV isn't only about a character's viewpoint. It's where character meets language, the actual essence of fiction in print. We novelists don't have the tone of voice of singers, or the physical presence of actors, or the visual display of filmmakers. We have to tell the whole story, create the character, craft the mood — all through mere words.”
