Dheera's Workshop of Whimsy

VOICE:

Or Point of view. Who tells the story?  You can tell the story from one point of view, POV, or multiple POV. It can be a story told in first person…I saw my father building a tree house and wondered who it was for…

Or third person…Sam saw his father…

Dancing on the Edge by Han Nolan is a first person POV book to check out.

Third person book to checkout: Everyone Else’s Parents Said Yes, by Paula Danziger

You can also choose to write in the third person omniscient POV.This means that the author knows everything. If three people experience the same incident, the author can express how each one is feeling at the same moment.

Winnie the Pooh is one such book.

The thing to do for your own story is to write in the voice you are most comfortable with. Try reading some of the recommended books and see which voice fits best with your style of writing.

And then begin!

Do let me know if you have any preference for next week’s blog. I was planning to discus plot next.

All the best!
